    Could they not replace the mods? In the end, don’t they own the subreddits? Who owns the intellectual property?

          Under EU GDPL they would have to erase everything upon request if they don’t want to get fined into oblivion.

          Good to know. If it comes to that I will. Anyone who spends any amount of time adding to a community though is like killing your own creation. I did this for us.

        Quality would absolutely drop. Even if whoever replaced the mods was just as enthusiastic, losing that much institutional knowledge/inertia would be devastating for a while.

        They’d also need to find a ridiculous amount of people (~28,000 mods according to Reddark?). Or have fewer people be insanely overworked, either way you’re right; quality will drop.
