To be fair, if fediverse ever takes off, they'll probably need those automods to prevent things from getting out of control.
The potential loss of automods was also one of the things people were worried about with the API changes.
The crux of the problem with Reddit is they drag their feet on these features. Mods have been asking for mod tools for decades. So they had to come up with these half-baked measures.
The beauty of open-source and federation: need a change just make it yourself!
This is pretty much the main reason I am excited for Lemmy and the fediverse. No monetization interests and gatekeeping to get in the way of building the software the way the community needs it. This is why it's so important that the user be the customer.
