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

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?

My general feeling is that the only reason to delete a thread is if it's spam or somehow offensive to site wide rules against violence, racism, etc.

Deleting a thread because you don't like it or it's inconvenient is a mark of cowardace and cowards have no business being mods.

The given reason was that I 'didn't give enough detail'. However, there are shorter posts than what I wrote that have been left up and gained attention but are not about the protest.

If something doesn't have enough detail, you just let the downvotes bury it. There's no need for mod action. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Agreed so I do think it was about what I was posting.
