I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.
Good. Banning people from a subreddit because they posted something in a different subreddit is not a reason to ban someone. That’s what they used the tools for.
That’s how some mods chose to moderate their communities.
Saying that taking those tools away from all mods is a good thing because some used them in a way you don’t agree with is like saying no one should be able to build houses anymore because you don’t care for Italian architecture.
