After the API changes Reddit lost several mods of several big subreddits. Many out of protest, others out of annoyance or unwillingness to take up the extra load

The mods on a small sub I still visit apologised at the time that they had to implement strict automod because they could no longer work on the sub in spare time at work, just after work on the desktop using old Reddit and external tools.

Some mods that weren’t protesting left, put off that they couldn’t use their preferred moderation tools built into an app.

So many big subs are moderated by people put in by the admins. Many mods can phone up the person who put them there and say get rid of this troublemaker and the admin will.

Even the subs I visit which are universally small suck more than they used to because there’s so much less human moderation, so much more robot moderation, and they are full of moderated comments where they weren’t so much before

IDK if I double replied to this or not. I deleted the account, can’t pull content from a deleted account, not even on reveddit . Otherwise I’d have no problem, but the more time has gone on, the less I’ve cared about losing reddit aside from access to some specific hobby and help forums. and if its really that bad, I’ll buy a burner phone and go to Mom’s house or something.

Im not losing sleep over convincing or not convincing someone. Its not going to change anything regardless. You can take my word for it, or call me a liar. I dont care, but I wont go in circles over the same point.
