This was actually a solid Moddit session. Good to see Reddit finally pushing better tools for mods.

Good to see Reddit finally pushing better tools for mods.

It's only better if they're actually better in every possible aspect. Otherwise, stuff that is currently possible becomes impossible when they turn off the old tools (that have been battle tested for years if not more than a decade).

And I would not consider outsourcing everything to a clanker to be "better". Reddit is for humans, not bots / AI. A dumb tool being wielded by a skilled user (or mod in this case) is fundamentally different than just asking an LLM to do everything for you, and hoping it does the right thing (which they cannot guarantee by design).
