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.

    A lot of subs I followed just seemed to be full of a lot more intolerance and a load of bots, I think moderators that remain just don’t have the tools they used to have to root out these accounts

      They’re too busy banning 10 year users for saying naughty words to worry about harmful bots and karma farmers and shills—it’s about priorities!

        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.
