Man, this shit is precisely why reddit was my preferred platform. The nice subs for my hobbies and interests were one thing, but the hilarious shit the community cakew up with over the years....
And now this. Hats off to everyone over there, well played.
I think because of the juxtaposition of the concept of mods as a "landed gentry" and everyone getting mod status on those subs and the absurdity of a bacteria who survived cleaning spray being wealthy and powerful.
There's an even better comic I cant find where the 1% of germs are in tall buildings reading the newspaper and saying "quite."
From what I had read, it seems like it’s done by letting people command AutoMod (or a different bot account that has Mod access to the sub) in the comments, similar to how people would use the RepostSleuth or RemindMe bots. So unfortunately, this probably dies when the API gets murdered at the end of the month.
I just read through the sticky post in the subreddit, and the list of actions that you can accomplish are all handled by automoderator directly, no need for API.
