Romance For Men

In light of recent policy changes over at Reddit, I’ve decided to create a new space for the RFM community here over at lemmy.world. To be clear, the original /r/Romance_for_men community on Reddit is not going anywhere, it will stay for those that want to use Reddit. I created this lemmy community because I want everyone to have access to RFM discussion.

During the API changes and ensuing protests Reddit CEO Steve Huffman made a number of controversial statements, but one in particular caught my attention: "We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive". Despite burning so much good will to enact the API changes, we know that 3rd party apps are used by a small fraction of Reddit's users. Charging these users high fees isn't going to be what swings Reddit into the black.

I believe the API is only the beginning, and in the future Reddit will employ more aggressive and user hostile monetization strategies. Lemmy can be a refuge as Reddit pushes its users away. My hope is that the early adopters that join me here can make the path easy for those who come later.

For those who are new here and have never heard of romance for men, and may be asking "what is this community"? Our community is a space to talk about romance media that men like to enjoy. Looking at our official book list will help you get a sense of what books we like to read. As always RFM is an inclusive space. We welcome everyone who interacts with kindness and civility.
