Just saw this. They're trying to suffocate it before pulling the plug.

Another interesting choice is how they are replacing Automod with Automations, but Automations is currently only able to flag content for review by mods.

Are they using mods as free labor to train AI... to replace human moderators? 😂 Because that's really what it seems like.

Reddit is going all in on taking it all for themselves.

That change helped reduce scraping and automated abuse, but still allowed any logged-in account to access Old Reddit, including accounts with no prior Old Reddit use.

To close this gap, in the next few months, we'll further limit access for logged-in users to only those who have used Old Reddit in the last six months

How horrible, ANY logged-in account can just access old reddit?? That needs to be fixed asap, how dare new users just use old reddit when they have a perfectly good shreddit available to them. — Reddit admins apparently

Nice admission there. Didn't expect them to be this open about their true feelings on the matter.

… and it still won’t be enough for the loyalists to leave.

People still login to MySpace I assume. Hows that going? No, hold on, go ahead and reply over ICQ.
