> Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site. He said "the vast majority" of moderators also do not rely on third-party apps.
- galleywest200 3y agoMost mods seem to use the old.reddit.com website, possibly utilizing Mod Toolbox as well. It seems most mods do not use an app for moderating at all.

- flutas 3y agoThe big issue is you can hide a lot in statements like that. I can't find super trustworthy numbers (and I can't verify this due to that), but if there are about 3.4m subs and only 140k of them are active, every single active sub could have a mod that uses a 3rd party app and you could still claim "the vast majority" don't use them. I also find it fairly interesting he would quote a percentage for users, but not for mods.

- margalabargala 3y agoYeah there's a lot of different ways to count something like that to get the result you want. Torture the numbers and they will confess.
