Third Party Ads We didn’t know how prevalent 3rd party ads were on 3rd party apps – they’re trouble for us. When people see their ads next to the wrong content, they don’t get mad at the 3rd party app, they get mad at us. We can’t ensure brand safety due to the ad networks many 3rd party apps use, which aren’t strong on privacy and tracking. Awesome. So first party ads are made at the personal responsibility of reddit gods so there is no way malicious or bad actors or wrong people will get to show ads. Its only third party ads which will pollute the whole ecosystem if they are allowed to be shown. Fuck them. I've been a redditor for a decade. I can't jump away soon enough. They want to give "mod tools" so essentially give free mods more tools to sink their time and energy in while reddit earns from their generosity. Nice business model. You do your work, I'll collect the cheque.

Oh but you see, they’re just “promises” of mod tools as usual. They’ve been doing this for years at this point, promising mod features that never show up

  as i said, i've used reddit for far too long. i have had dozens of problems with rogue mods taking over subs and reddit did not intervene even when called to arbitrate. same for the third party apps who basically built the community around reddit. i am sure reddit will face a huge disappointment. there is zero chances for me to use the official app so its good riddance. i'm pretty sure lemmy might be able to pull off as a strong contender
