A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.
