I also find it interesting that lack of mod tools is a big complaint of reddit but it seems that lack of mod tools is immediately an issue on kbin/lemmy.
But the decisions made on one vs the other are moving in the opposite directions.
This is a new town, not a razed town.
I think mod tools will become a higher priority as more users, posts, and comments start to show up. Given kbin’s sudden explosive growth, I doubt mod support was high on the dev’s todo list last week.
Remember that we didn't leave because there were no moderation tools to begin with, but rather because existing ones would die and new ones wouldn't be able to flourish.
The Threadiverse (what people like to call the combination of Kbin + Lemmy) is growing day-by-day, more communities are arriving here, and with that more developers will take interest in developing tools for use on the Threadiverse, but also the Fediverse as a whole.
After all, there's already mastodon instances (like https://botsin.space) which are purely for hosting bots. I presume that instances like this will soon also be made specifically for Kbin/Lemmy bots.
