It's quite sad to see everything related to the blackout on /r/programming wiped.

Not really a bad thing. Part of the protest was to devalue the platform...
See what /r/ProgrammerHumor/ is doing - all titles are camelCase, and all the comments started
includingandreturningthings. It's not really something anymore that reddit could sell to AI content farms.If mods are removed for participating in the blackout, the next best thing is probably to let their sub go completely unmoderated and let things turn into a shitshow with unable content by spam bots.
Don't think you can really teach an AI bot something by letting it regurgitate it's own output
Oh Reddit who's going to protect you from the AI invasion after you removed the mods?
The solution is obviously to replace the mods by bots, to fight other bots.
Battle bots, but virtual XD
Then we got bots talking to bots about articles written by bots, moderated by bots. Its gonna be great.
You could call it a botnet
My absolute favorite response is what /r/madlads did - they made all of their subscribers mods.
Lol, imagine if they included escape keys for various languages. Then reddit would really never be able to sell the data.
