So let the admins have to figure out new mods for all these huge subs. It'll be a shit show. Either they'll have to pay internal people or they'll get people that can't mod for shit.
Also with BotDefense leaving Reddit, whoever takes up the modding duties will have a much harder time moderating overall. They'll be less experienced, less invested in the community, and have a much harder time moderating.
Plus, I view those mods as spineless for caving the protest and making it possible for spez to boot the original mods simply to "keep the content coming"
Mfer there's the literal entirety of the internet available, your precious TIFU can wait a few weeks, everything is okay.
That's the biggest shoe to drop so far, imo
I've been thinking this. I get that reddit is a huge platform, but that's exactly why we should let them figure out their own mess. It's not our problem.
I wonder if internally, they're panicking.
I sure hope they do, but most of all, I hope that specifically Spez is panicking.
