He somehow seems to genuinely thing that there are enough replacement mods just waiting around that he could nuke the mod teams of huge subreddits like r/aww and be fine
I don’t think most of the people claiming on reddit that they are willing to replace mods understand how crazy of a job it is to moderate a community with 20 million subscribers. Reddit will end up literally full of blatant right wing agitprop in literally every subreddit. Communities will get banned for child porn because their mods won’t see it in the hundreds of submissions per minute. Spam will become commonplace, especially if bots get removed (and so far it looks like they will).
It’s genuinely funny seeing so many users getting mad about the blackout and demanding new mods, but not realizing at all how much worse it will be.
