What do you think of r/books silence on the API changes?
At the end of the day, the only ones who can choose to make the subreddit private are the mods, and I don't think they've given any public statements on it either way. It may simply be that the mods aren't unified on whether or not to join.
Unfortunately, we have to move to a different lemmy instance since "trolling" isn't allowed on lemmy.ml. Any ideas on where we should go to?
lemmy.world has been pretty open so far.
In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout
the 1-2 day blackout is a shot across the bow. a lot of subs have committed to going private indefinitely on 6/30, I know there's at least some that are planning on that as well, but haven't gone public about it.
Seriously, what's up with big sites literally dying as we speak?
Not money per se, but the oil of the 21st century: data.
I guarantee it's primarily about improving their ability to harvest and sell user data.
