What do you think of r/books silence on the API changes? (lemmy.world)

Unlike many other large subreddits r/books has not made any statements about the API changes. I did try and post something about it but it ended up getting deleted. At 22.1 million users this would be a pretty significant addition to the protest.

Does anyone know why there hasn't been anything official?

There was a post with 28k upvotes a few days ago that mods chose to ignore. I'd take that to mean they'll be ignoring the API changes altogether.

Ah I missed that. The silence is an ~interesting~ choice.

they sold out

Can't sell out if you are not being paid. I guess they just don't care, which is fine, if a little disappointing.

I dunno if it counts as selling out when they previously haven't had a stance on it, but it is disappointing.
