Hi there,
Thank you for these questions.
We're a small team committed to being more active and engaged in this community. We're dedicating resources and refining our processes to improve how we communicate and respond to you all.
At the moment, we're working out the details on how to verify moderators, which is why the API hasn't been switched back on. We're taking our time to get this right for everyone involved.
We greatly appreciate your patience and support during this time. Your role in moderating this community doesn't go unnoticed.
We'll continue to share updates as they become available in the coming days.

You have repeatedly said this for months and it hasn't happened. How many times are you going to keep saying it and breaking the promise? What's different this time?

I have a few questions about this changes. Does that mean we, the creator of those bots and tools, will now have to make a accounts on Pushshift ?
What about all those bots & tools that were created and functioning (way) before the announced changes ? There many bots, not just used for moderation, i.e statistical bots that count specific words in a sub, bots that act as an alarm clock/ update notifyer or ones that provide you download links to videos or source of a pic ect.
What about third party tools/websites like camas.unddit.com[1], will those searchtools be now limited or disabled at all ?
And what happened to all those monthly datadumps, you could access at files.pushshift.io[2], why where they taken down ? will they be ever put back online ?
I planned two bots, using your api. For one i wanted to create a (semi) private sub, exclusive for specific types of people. The approval/join process would've been done by a bot depending on the users post/com history. if the user passed, the bot would've approved that user
The second bot is a warning bot, that checks a very specific subreddit, that isn't liked on the whole website (one about "reporting" and hardleft woke culture), and if a sub has been posted/reported on said sub, it warn the mods of the reported one, that their sub has been posted on it. (It also list every user of the report sub)
Will my two bots be possible now with those changes ?
