I have no idea about any specific tools. I’m not a moderator. Are Apollo and Reddit is Fun actually used that much for moderation? From the way I’ve seen it described, the issue with those apps is more about people preferring them to the stock app and separate from the moderation issues. But maybe I’m mistaken. The…

Those are not moderation apps though, right? They’re apps for accessing the site for non-mod users. I haven’t used any of them, so maybe they have mod tools built in in addition to that, but that’s not what I was referring to specifically.

The small minority here are largely mods that depend on third party apps that aid in moderating subreddits. It has little to do with avoiding ads and everything to do with having good tools that remain absent on the main app.

Reddit has committed to giving those bots free access.

the piss poor design/ecosystem in the native app that are pissing people off.

The issue isn’t that Reddit wants to charge for it’s API, but that the amount they want to charge is astronomical and way higher than other websites such as Imgur, and the extremely short timeline they gave with pricing information.

Nickmercs’ tweet was defending a federally recognized terrorist group attacking parents and other supporters who simply wanted the school to declare June as pride month. But go off I guess. Or better yet, never speak again.

I didn’t take it as Hughes scolding Kelis for moving on but rather it saying it was sad that her husband died so recently.

Sure, photographs aren’t lethal. But they can absolutely be harmful. Not only reputationally but there’s a mental toll taken by being constantly hounded by people trying to catch you looking grump or picking your nose or whatever. That frustration and exhaustion can cause people to make bad choices.

If I’m writing an article I don’t know that I should have to also talk about all the things that I don’t think are relevant

The paparazzi hounding her put her in a situation where she made some bad choices. The driver was fleeing from them when he crashed.

Sure. But she never would have been in that situation to begin with if she wasn’t trying to escape the paparazzi who were hounding her constantly.

That’s not what this article is doing though. It paints the paparazzi in a uniformly positive light.

They, the Sussexes? That’s absolutely what they were trying to evoke, which is manipulative and unfair, since the “chase” was nothing like that.

That’s fair. I hadn’t dug into the updates about the case. Still not a fan of this one-sided article painting the paparazzi as heroes though.

I think because it’s not relevant.

Maybe! Though it seems like two people who are very much used to being in the public eye would have realized that the existing footage would disprove their story and they had no legal right to it before they made the claims that they made. I agree though. Who knows.

That’s the thing though, isn’t it? We don’t know how close they came to a similar accident. They could be completely exaggerating the danger they were in or they very well could have been in legitimate peril or somewhere in between.

For Harry and Meghan, the case underscores the bald absurdity of not just their demand, but their attempts to rewrite the well-established quid pro quo between paparazzi and stars: we give you attention you want, and you let us pay our rent with the fruits of that labor. It also raised uncomfortable questions about…

I mean... The finale airs on Sunday. Not much of a spoiler to know that he died before the very last episode.
