We might be able to capitalize on this somehow to move users to the fediverse?

Hi mods,

This afternoon we will be releasing a couple of improvements to Automoderator.

First, there is now a verified email attribute available. This means that you can check if the redditor submitting content to your community has a verified email associated with their account. Think of it as an automated way of looking at their trophy case to see if they have the “Verified Email” trophy.

Mods use account age & karma restrictions in an effort to stop low effort participation but these often catch out well intentioned redditors. We hope that by exposing if a redditor has a verified email to automod you’ll be able to remove some of these karma restrictions and have a more effective way at identifying bad-intentioned redditors.

    I’m not sure it’s possible to capitalize on this. It’s simply not an outrage-inducing development. There might be hundreds that notice, and dozens that care, but of those most will be too lazy and unfamiliarity-averse to do anything about it.
