They're just removing all community functions now I guess?? Like quizzes and writing a few years back?? They refuse to take the time to keep Goodreads safe so they're just removing stuff and calling it a day. That helps NO ONE.
Wtf is this TBH????? What are they doing???????😡😡😡😡
i can’t believe they’re doing this to us
I AM SO MAD, instead of adding things THEY REMOVE THE BEST FEATURE ?? WHAT !!!!!
goodreads once again removing random things no one asked them to remove instead of improving the site and the app like everyone asks for all the time; disappointed but not surprised
I just got Goodreads two months ago I haven’t even buddy read with anyone yet 😭😭😭 guess I’ll never will 😞
What?? Are they removing direct messages??? Whyyyy?
i dont care either way, this app needs a change honestly
Of all the things they could be ADDING to GR they're deciding to remove DMs lol .. make it make sense..
they need to improve messages NOT remove it entirely

Wait can someone tell me where they've said this??? Genuine question because i did a rough search and i can't find any such announcement? I just want to be better informed about goodreads bcs i need to stay connected with some friends on here

You must have got one too/will get one too.
What in the world were they even thinking
Everyone!!! Message gr with complaints!!!!!
SERIOUSLY WTF ARE THEY DOING LIKE WTH 😑😑🤦♂️
Yusra I was literally about to rant you abt this, THIS IS SO STUPID. These dms literally made us friends😿
They should keep DMs and look for other ways to deal with spamm and trolling via messages, dammit! We need a little privacy here, more so with interactions with friends.
THE GROUP IS CALLED Petition for better goodreads updates
EVERYONE JOIN NOW AND SPREAD THE WORD
THANK YOU LEVI 🫡
UGHHHH I LOVE MY DMS WHAATTTT
I sent like 559 invites
Yes they should I suppose it’s to stop scammers?
If some users had problem with dms then they could have just added a settings where non friends couldn't message them, WHY REMOVE IT FOR ALL??
