View submission: Announcing Remove as a Subreddit

Please expose APIs for this so /r/toolbox can implement this for old reddit. Most moderators use old reddit.

If you do so, I may be able to retire /u/radiomod, which currently performs a similar function of commenting on behalf of mods.

This. Without support for Old reddit, this is worthless to us.

I hate that mods do such a significant amount of work for reddit and we tell reddit that we want mod features available on old reddit...but they keep ignoring us.

Almost as if our opinions don't actually matter.

Announcing a feature we've all wanted for years. And then announcing it won't be on a format most of us use.

Feels like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_UOIYudmuk

Content removed in protest of Reddit treatment of users, moderators, the visually impaired community and 3rd party app developers.

If you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks: Reddit abruptly announced[1] they would be charging astronomically overpriced API fees to 3rd party apps, cutting off mod tools. Worse, blind redditors & blind mods (including mods of r/Blind and similar communities) will no longer have access[2] to resources that are desperately needed in the disabled community.

Removal of 3rd party apps

Moderators all across Reddit rely on third party apps to keep subreddit safe from spam, scammers and to keep the subs on topic. Despite Reddit’s very public claim that "moderation tools will not be impacted", this could not be further from the truth despite 5+ years of promises from Reddit. Toolbox in particular is a browser extension that adds a huge amount of moderation features that quite simply do not exist on any version of Reddit - mobile, desktop (new) or desktop (old). Without Toolbox, the ability to moderate efficiently is gone. Toolbox is effectively dead[3].

All of the current 3rd party apps are either closing or will not be updated. With less moderation you will see more spam (OnlyFans, crypto, etc.) and more low quality content. Your casual experience will be hindered.

This. Old Reddit is more accessible, except for the inability to use dark mode.

I echo this 100%. I use old reddit and it’s incredibly frustrating when all these change are on new reddit only.
