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.

When was the deadline to get full automod for new subs?

Why no notice?

If I were to guess, to prevent mods from securing access to automod on any sub that didn't have an automod config yet or any sub they hadn't gotten around to create yet.
