Hi Mods,
It’s no secret[1] that we’ve been investing in the mobile modding experience. Over the past 12+ months, we’ve hosted numerous research sessions and discussions to understand what mods like/don’t like about the mobile experience, collect feature ideas, and get feedback on user interfaces. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to chat with us, these discussions influenced every one of our feature launches over the past year.

Most recently, we added the capability to provide greater context to banned users[2] and launched the ability to reorder removal reasons[3]. We’re excited to kick off this week by launching improvements to the mobile mod queue.

In order to give mods greater flexibility and customization when it comes to their individual workflows, we’ve added the ability for mods to be able to filter their Mod Queues by “Removed,” “Reported,” “Edited,” and “Unmoderated.”
Additionally, we’re adding post titles for comments within Mod Queue. Having greater context will make it easier for mods to manage the comments within their subreddit from the queue.
We shared this yesterday, but in the coming weeks, we’re launching the following mobile mod features:
We’d love to hear your feedback on the current experience – let us know in the comments below.

Why weren’t basic features like mod mail and the mod log features on the official app Day 1? It’s been 5 years and they’re just being added.
Is this a joke?

Your new API pricing scheme sucks, as does your mobile app.

Native mobile Mod Mail - launching in September
So, judging by this there will potentially be lots of moderators with no access to modmail for the next two to three months. How will you address this? Will we still get punished for not promptly replying to messages we may be effectively unable to reply, or can people just r/redditrequest subs without allowing the mods to make their case?
I mean, certainly you have thought through these matters when you decided to kill 3rd party apps two months before making your own app even remotely feature complete, right? /s
We’d love to hear your feedback on the current experience
Oh trust me, you'll be seeing *a lot* of feedback next week, please look forward to it.

Is there any possible way for the text to be resized so we can have more than like 5 comments on the screen at one time? Please god the dumbing down of information is so bad.

Wild that it takes the threat of a user coordinated black out to even prompt the most basic features of a UI to release

Are these for ios users only? Cuz the last update where we can reorder removal reasons doesn't seem to work on android(atleast for me).

Having greater context will make it easier for mods to manage the comments within their subreddit from the queue.
Speaking of context, on the current (Android) version, if I tap on a comment in the mod queue, it takes me to that comment, but will not show any parent comments that the queued comment was replying to. That makes it a challenge to figure out wtf is going on at times.

Stop posting about things that aren't "here's what we're changing to not destroy third party apps"

Once the API price scam goes into place and third party mod tools are made useless I'm sure most people will just leave rather than wait for the road map i keep reading in these responses.
Why "fix" what wasn't broken in the first place?

Does "mobile modding experience" mean the official reddit app? I can't imagine anyone using that to moderate any +1000 user subreddit, even after you kill all the 3rd party apps that suck a lot less.

So... we just dont have a mod experience on mobile until these are released? Remember when u/spez told us we would get CSS editing on new reddit 6 years ago? Are we supposed to wait that long for these features too?

No one cares about your mobile app. Give us back our third party apps.

Only took you like 17 years to start working on mod tools.
How embarrassing for you.

/r/AskHistorians has a great post[1] today about the history of Reddit promising capabilities for mods:
Admins have promised minimal disruption; however, over the years they’ve made a number of promises to support moderators that they did not, or could not follow up on, and at times even reneged on:
* In 2015, in response to widespread protests on the sub, the admins promised they would build tools and improve communication with mods.
* In 2019 the admins promised that chat would always be an opt-in feature. However, a year later an unmoderated chat feature was made a default feature on most subs
* In 2020, in response to moderators protesting racism on Reddit, admin promised to support mods in combating hate
* In 2021, again, in response to protests, Reddit’s admin promised a feature to report malicious interference by subreddits promoting Covid denial.
Why roll out these capabilities so close to when API access is being revoked when you've had years to do so?

Did this come at the expense of the desktop modqueue? Because that's totally fucked right now.

I'm really feeling sorry for the dev team who are asked to rush these half baked tools for the official app before the end of month, for something which c-suite corporates made a decision in board room about revenues and profit increasing without understanding the core of the problem which is already there.

Hey folks, I hear your bosses are laying some of you off. Sounds like you've got something in common with third party app developers.
Our disagreement is with them, not with you. Are you working overtime to get these feature announcements out with the impending blackout? Are you being paid overtime?
Maybe you should consider getting together and talking about it, without them present. Take some action as a group, you know?

These features don't look to even come close to feature parity with third party alternatives. Also, many of these features are launching after third party apps are killed off with API pricing changes. It's all too little too late and I will leave reddit before using the official app.
