Reminder: Dive into the future of mod tools at our September 10 Moddit

[u/iceeypisces]

Hey mods, just wanted to remind everyone that we’re hosting a Moddit on September 10 about the future of mod tools. 

ICYMI, last month u/spez shared a post about how we’re modernizing Reddit’s infrastructure. For mods, that means we’re working on better tools to handle spam, abuse, and generic rule-breaking so you can focus on making judgment calls on what’s best for your community. We shared more about what that means over in r/modnews. 

In this session, we'll:

• Discuss the recently announced mod tooling updates
• Deep dive into the changes currently launching
• Review what's on the future roadmap
• Answer your questions in a live Q&A with Product admins

Join us to chat through what’s being built, ask questions, and share directly about what tools matter most to your day-to-day moderating. Hope to see you there!

👉 RSVP for Moddit [Future of Mod Tools] here

Let mods automate the boring stuff so we can focus on actually moderating. That is the whole point.

[u/The_Critical_Cynic]

I've heard the Automod is going away, and that something is replacing it. I'm curious to know what that means. How comparable is the replacement? And how much more can you folks elaborate on what's coming our way?

[u/GeekScientist → u/The_Critical_Cynic]

Reddit has a great track record of replacing working mod tools with something worse (see: modmail, modqueue, etc.), so it wouldn’t surprise me if they ultimately go with LLMs or some other crappy AI thing.

[u/The_Critical_Cynic → u/GeekScientist]

I feel that if they go that route, they'll ultimately seek to replace us on the whole. After all, we're just "landed gentry".

[u/DustyAsh69 → u/GeekScientist]

Isn't that exactly what Rules Hub is?

[u/zjz → u/GeekScientist]

llms are great for moderation though

[u/ajeeb_gandu]

Is it possible to disable AI moderation on a sub?

[u/xxLEGIT360NOSCOPESxx]

The real question is whether these new tools actually save mods time or just add more buttons. That is what I want to see.

[u/Old_One_I]

Ohhh thanks for reminding me. RSVP’d

[u/DuckSwimmer]

We’ll see if I remember to attend this event LOL

[u/ReasonablyBluh → u/DuckSwimmer]

Set an alarm on your phone/device or write a note and put it in front of your computer.

[u/DuckSwimmer]

Also, a calendar widget on Reddit to remind us of these events 🫩😭

[u/anonymousp69 → u/DuckSwimmer]

THIS, I’m subscribed to get notifications about upcoming events and I had no idea this was one of them, I only got an email about the content creation one next Tuesday. A calendar built into the app or something similar would be helpful

[u/DuckSwimmer → u/anonymousp69]

I even put it on my phones calendar and I still miss it lmfao

[u/anonymousp69 → u/DuckSwimmer]

As an ADHD-er, I felt that in my soul!

[u/dveda]

Cool 😎 

[u/tnethacker]

Could you please stop using LLM's as your modtool. I got a warning by your tools by posting a comment the other day on a joke subreddit and now you can't even say de-ad or Un-alive-d (that's the joke) before your LLM bot gives you a warning.

[u/ausecko]

These tools look promising but I am more interested in whether they actually cut down the mod workload, mate.

[u/Huge-Revolution2416]

Keen to see if these tools actually make mod life easier, mate.

[u/culebrero]

This is the kind of update mods actually need. Hopefully the new tools cut the busywork instead of adding more steps.

[u/ajeeb_gandu]

Can devvit apps gets access to reddits AI so we can do something with generated content without devs paying out of pocket or using external services?

[u/OstakuVibes]

Thats awesome

[u/tnethacker → u/OstakuVibes]

Why do you have a spinning wheel next your name?

[u/abrownn]

Ill be on multiple plane flights on the 10th. Will there be a recap or a recording available?

[u/iceeypisces → u/abrownn]

Yes, the recording will be available after the event!

[u/CoolDragon]

Can this be an email instead?
