    I seem to recall reading a long comment about how reddit has said they’ll make those things available

    Make what things available?

      Free API access to mod tools. The problem is that Reddit’s promises are useless and what - the admin volunteers have to pay for API until they do? Pay to moderate their website?

        The link is about giving 3rd party mod tools free API access to Reddit. But you are correct that Reddit has not provided many mod tools directly.

          Which is ridiculous.

          Insane that they effectively send 3rd party apps to the shadow realm only to accommodate the “free” things that will benefit them.

          Imagine effectively calling 3rd party apps freeloaders in the process.

          How ironic.
