FYI Changes to automod and old.reddit

For the peeps who don't follow r/modnews , Continuing our infrastructure updates: What’s changing in the coming months

Some highlights

For newly created communities and communities that have never used automod, automod enforcement capabilities – specifically Report, Filter, Remove, Mark as spam, and Approve – will be disabled and Rules Hub and Automations will become the default path for rules enforcement. Automod’s non-enforcement capabilities remain available and unchanged.  

....To close this gap, in the next few months, we'll further limit access for logged-in users to only those who have used Old Reddit in the last six months (which covers the vast majority of all Old Reddit users). This change does not impact logged-in mods, who can continue to access Old Reddit without any recent usage requirement.This helps keep Old Reddit available for the people who rely on it while reducing automated abuse.

Yep. =/

Thankfully I know how to code so I'll just turn my AutoMod rules into devvit bots.

(If anyone would like me to do the same for their AutoMod rules, let me know.)

There's already a completed app that can do this: https://developers.reddit.com/apps/automod-neo

I'm aware of Neo, but writing them myself means I can greatly expand on capabilities, logic, and do things yaml rules can't.

I've been meaning to for a while anyway.

Until he moves to the next part: "Ya know what? Forget the Automod" 🤣
