Catch y’all there!

Hey y’all,

In case you missed it, u/spez recently 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.

Changes around core mod tools can naturally bring up a lot of questions, so here’s a quick TL;DR of what was announced:

• Nothing is changing for existing communities today.
• What’s expanding now: Post and Comment Guidance capabilities are expanding for all communities to help catch rule breaks before content hits your queue.
• What’s coming long-term: We’re building tools like Rules Hub to handle routine enforcement tasks you currently rely on AutoMod for.
• No sudden shifts: We do not have set dates, and we will not change any existing AutoMod workflows until replacement tools are thoroughly tested, proven, and actually meeting your needs.

To help bring more clarity around all of this and give you a chance to weigh in early, we’re hosting a Moddit session focused specifically on the future of mod tools on September 10.

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

We’d love for you to join us to chat through what’s being built, answer your questions, and hear directly from you about what tools matter most to your day-to-day moderating.

Welcome to the first Cat Tax Thursday of August! We’ve been smiling all of July thanks to these amazing threads of pet serotonin. To kick off the month, we want to see a pet picture that captures your current mood. 

You know what to do: drop a photo of your pet in the comments below. Happy cat taxing! 😻

Have pet pictures you’re dying to share? Looking for some pet serotonin? Well, you’ve come to the right place.  In our weekly cat tax thread, you can drop a pet picture that describes your current mood or one that you’d love to share. ALL pets are allowed, not just cats!  🐾

Since we end most events by paying cat tax, we figured we’d create that space for y’all to do the same every week. Remember to keep things kind in the comments. 🥹
