They also haven't actually kicked off third party clients for mods. If you moderate any sub (even just create a private sub now) and the client didn't purposely kill their own API key (Apollo and RIF did I believe) it will still work even without the patch.

It's getting pretty bad though. With most people who were truly pro-protest gone, average sentiment is "oh well protest failed let's get back to normal". I was pretty heavily downvoted in the Ask Historians meta thread about next steps for suggesting the mods/experts were fairly irreplaceable and they should look to move content off of reddit to their own site.
