Yeah. I have previously said that my personal redline is the removal of old.reddit, but it seems like they're actively probing around to find other redlines I hadn't even considered.

For many, many years people have been wanting some way to deal with "abusive" or "rogue" mods. Guess all it took was for the "abusiveness" to be aimed at the Reddit admins rather than the plebian users.

I'm not installing the official app, so my Reddit use is going to go down. It will be interesting to see how much usage goes down after July 1.

I also think Reddit has not touched the mod issue because it didn't want to trigger a bunch of mods quitting if it wasn't well received. Now that mods are becoming a problem, they don't care and are choosing the laziest way to implement getting rid of mods that doesn't require a decision by themselves.
