“我们设想一个未来，在这个未来中，所有在 Reddit 上良好且受信任的自动化都运行在一个生态系统内，使我们能够提供支持并一致地执行我们的政策，”Reddit 表示。“为了实现这一目标，我们将继续支持有限的公共 API 访问，但我们将逐步限制新的请求，并要求第三方应用过渡到 Reddit 的开发者平台并在其上运行。”
这一转变是在 Reddit 2023 年进行重大 API 变更之后发生的，这些变更旨在让 AI 公司为 Reddit 的数据支付费用：/2023/4/18/23688463/reddit-developer-api-terms-change-monetization-ai，但也引发了广泛的反弹：/23779477/reddit-protest-blackouts-crushed，部分原因是这些变更迫使许多深受喜爱的 Reddit 应用：/2023/6/30/23780130/reddit-third-party-apps-saying-goodbye-apollo-rif-boost-sync-baconreader 关闭。（目前，如果开发者想开发 Reddit 移动应用，他们必须获得 Reddit 的许可以获得公共 API 豁免，Kim 表示，这种情况将继续存在。）Reddit 还没有要求使用开发者平台的“具体时间表”，但公司将“给予社区充分通知”并提供明确的时间表，Kim 表示。据 Kim 称，即将到来的变更将影响“除我们明确授予豁免的应用之外的所有 API 应用”。
Reddit 今天也表示，它计划对旧版 Reddit 进行更多更改，作为其持续打击未经授权抓取其内容的努力的一部分。这些努力已经包括阻止未付费的搜索引擎显示 Reddit 结果：/2024/7/24/24205244/reddit-blocking-search-engine-crawlers-ai-bot-google，对 Anthropic 提起诉讼：/ai-artificial-intelligence/679768/reddit-sues-anthropic-alleging-its-bots-accessed-reddit-more-than-100000-times-since-last-july 和 Perplexity 提起诉讼：/news/804660/reddit-suing-perplexity-data-scrapers-ai-lawsuit，并封锁 Internet Archive：/news/757538/reddit-internet-archive-wayback-machine-block-limit，以阻止 AI 公司利用其抓取数据。此外，在六月，该公司宣布：/tech/959779/reddit-old-log-in，如果人们想使用旧版 Reddit 界面，必须登录。
Reddit 没有具体说明对旧版 Reddit 的更改内容，但 Kim 表示公司正在“探索不同的选项”，并指出“短期内我们将限制已登录用户的访问，并迁移关键的机器人和版主工作流程。”
Reddit is enlisting AI to help moderate new subreddits — and eventually the rest of site. The company is introducing automated moderation tools that rely on LLMs to help mods manage their communities, and it’s expanding who can use those tools today ahead of a full launch later this year.
The company calls the suite of tools “Rules Hub,” and the tools let mods decide what rules should be automatically enforced and what should happen when a rule is triggered. Rules Hub relies on LLMs to evaluate “whether a post or comment matches the intent of a rule,” which “allows Rules Hub to better handle nuance, natural language, and edge cases while preserving moderator control,” Reddit says in a blog post：https://redditinc.com/news/modernizing-reddits-infrastructure-and-moderation-tools. Right now, many subreddits use tools from a feature called Automoderator：https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484574206484-Automoderator (aka Automod) to take action on rules, but Automod’s tools “depend on exact keyword and pattern matching.”
Reddit says that Rules Hub has been in testing for “the past few months” with “new and experienced moderators from over 700 communities, including members of Reddit’s Mod Council Network.” That test of Rules Hub is now expanding to “all newly created communities” and will be “widely available” at some point later in 2026.
Rules Hub will be optional for new communities, spokesperson Rosa Kim tells The Verge . However, it does sound as if Reddit plans to retire Automod’s enforcement features down the line: In its post, Reddit says that “Looking ahead, we believe Rules Hub, together with newer systems like Post & Comment Guidance and Safety Filters, can eventually replace many of the enforcement workflows that communities rely on from Automod,” Reddit says in its post.
The updated mod tools are just one of a few big platform announcements Reddit is making on Wednesday. The company is also planning big changes that will affect developers: It’s going to require new third-party apps to use the developer platform instead of the API.
“We envision a future where all good, trusted automation on Reddit runs within an ecosystem that allows us to offer support and enforce our policies consistently,” Reddit says. “To achieve this, we will continue supporting limited public API access, but we will gradually restrict new requests and require third-party apps to transition to and operate on Reddit’s Developer Platform.”
The shift follows Reddit’s major API changes in 2023 that it put in place to get AI companies to pony up for Reddit’s data：/2023/4/18/23688463/reddit-developer-api-terms-change-monetization-ai but also caused widespread backlash：/23779477/reddit-protest-blackouts-crushed in part because they forced many beloved Reddit apps：/2023/6/30/23780130/reddit-third-party-apps-saying-goodbye-apollo-rif-boost-sync-baconreader to shut down. (Currently, if a developer wants to make a Reddit mobile app, they have to get permission from Reddit to get public API exemptions, and that will continue to be the case, Kim says.) Reddit doesn’t have a “set timeline” yet for requiring the developer platform, but the company will give “give the community ample notice” and provide a clear timeline, Kim says. The upcoming change will affect “all API apps except the ones we explicitly grant exceptions to,” according to Kim.
Reddit is also saying today that it’s planning more changes to old Reddit as part of its ongoing efforts to fight unauthorized scraping of its content. Those efforts already include blocking Reddit results from search engines that don’t pay：/2024/7/24/24205244/reddit-blocking-search-engine-crawlers-ai-bot-google, suing Anthropic：/ai-artificial-intelligence/679768/reddit-sues-anthropic-alleging-its-bots-accessed-reddit-more-than-100000-times-since-last-july and Perplexity：/news/804660/reddit-suing-perplexity-data-scrapers-ai-lawsuit, and blocking the Internet Archive：/news/757538/reddit-internet-archive-wayback-machine-block-limit to stop AI companies from using it to scrape data, and in June, the company announced that：/tech/959779/reddit-old-log-in people would have to be logged in if they wanted to use the old Reddit interface.
Reddit doesn’t specify what the changes to old Reddit will be, but Kim says the company is “exploring different options” and notes that “in the short term we will limit access to logged-in users and migrate critical bots and moderator workflows.”
