Think this case in particular is pretty interesting. Former default subreddit and one of the largest on the site (Top 20 at least).

I think /r/videos is where we’ll see how things actually play out with the reddit admins. I’m guessing at some point the admins will step in and replace the mods.

    If a substantial number of old users and power users leave reddit, it might trigger a noticeable slowdown in traffic and a decline in quality (I’m not so sure about this as the quality had been going down the shitter for a long time anyway). Maybe that will alert people as to what’s happening.

    I deleted all the content and comments I posted from my 12 year old account after the AMA spez did yesterday. I will delete the account at the end of this month if nothing changes (I doubt anything will).

      Yeah, I’m tempted to delete mine, as well. 15 years on that platform, kinda hurts to think about deleting, but I really don’t feel like there’s much left for me there.

      I just wonder if there’s any way to quantify the impact that deleting an account actually has on Reddit.
