The link is about giving 3rd party mod tools free API access to Reddit. But you are correct that Reddit has not provided many mod tools directly.
I seem to recall reading a long comment about how reddit has said they’ll make those things available
Make what things available?
Looks like Reddit Mod tools are being accommodated https://mods.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16693988535309
I’m having a hard time believing the claim that Reddit’s code isn’t reactive.
How is that an example of bad code?
Google’s internal structure rewards duplicate efforts and people switching projects.
I don’t get why you’d choose not to read information you want where you know it exists over this.
I’m not sure why you think you need to avoid Reddit at cost to you finding the information you’re after.
If the information you want is on Reddit, why wouldn’t you want to read it?
People have been conditioned to never answer their phones when an unknown number calls because of a few bad actors that severely abuse the system and none of the network operators want to take responsibility for the actions of their users (and they are profiting from this lack of moderation).
Imagine if ISPs and services like Cloudflare didn’t counter DDoS attacks.
