the topic for emails is closed so I'm posting this here, but I've been contacting these people
I just tried emailing the Goodreads support and they can’t take anymore messages because their inbox is full

i think it’s because there have been cases of harassment where people were DMing inappropriate stuff, but bsfr does that really mean they have to get rid of it for everyone instead of just having stricter rules?

I reported a creepy dude like 500 times and he's still on here

Maybe there could be a better moderation team instead of getting rid of it all?? (Oh what am I kidding that would cost money)
yeah gr only makes about 1.4 million per month and costs over 2 million per month to maintain (employees etc.) so you could see why it’s getting cut

Syd wrote: "I'm still gonna use gr I just will be very unhappy if they get rid of pms"Same. It’s the easiest way for me to organize my books
Fable is over complicated bro and the review system is so ass. Why can’t Goodreads just take the time to update the messaging instead of removing it? TOTAL BS

yeah 😭😭
Do you have to have the app in order to use fable? I’ve never used it and I wanted to see what it’s like, but I can’t download any apps
Arianna wrote: "Do you have to have the app in order to use fable? I’ve never used it and I wanted to see what it’s like, but I can’t download any apps"yeah you do… I can’t either
honestly I don't use direct messages at all times (an invisible figure hah) so even if they remove it it's genuinely not a problem for me but then why are they even removing it anyway because it's like their core feature that everyone enjoys. I might still be here anyways
Istg my time on GR will be cut IN HALF if they remove DM's. I LOVE getting messages from people who want to share books or seen a poll about the book I wrote and want to know more about it. Why remove the one thing that helps everyone connect?? It's dumb, tbh. I understand the need for GR to be a safer app, but to remove communication fully?? NO
Me too, I don't really DM anybody on here, but like I'm still upset for all the people who do you know!!
I dm people a lot, like some people I interact mainly through dms with so idk what I’ll do if they remove them 😭
This makes me so genuinely sad. I went through a really depressive episode and GR direct messages was such a light in the dark for me. Getting to talk to you guys privately and publicly has honestly been an incredible experience. Love you all so much, xx











will do the same now
