Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about the moderation tools losing API access. The big subreddits don’t have the staff to manually fight all of that, especially with at least some of the senior/dedicated mods losing at least some interest in keeping things afloat. Pro bono work was already rough enough with tools to help. Remove those tools and it’s going to put a lot of people off moderating in a serious manner.
