I do most of my moderation on mobile and in new reddit you can’t access the sidebar in the mobile view they give. I have to use old reddit therefore. The sidebar has the mod tools linked to it as well as rules and a bucnh of other useful things… that are all not visible in mobile. Their UI standards are very low.
But also they had ample time to fix these things before killing 3rd party apps. It’s easy to say “we’ll do it later”
Reddit has been making promises and punting the action down the line for years.
So much of their work is half baked and incomplete, or just not fully featured, and usually only sufficient to be a minimally viable product
Anyone who sincerely trusts Reddit in this way is just asking for trouble.
