    They can’t just re-open subreddits and expect it to go over smoothly. These subs will collapse without moderators.

      Sure they can. They’ll outsource moderation to Bangladesh, pay mods like $0.20 a day, and double the number of ads shown.

        Considering they didn’t pay any of the moderators as is, I don’t think they would pay for them now.

          You don’t think they would pay a pittance for mods they can control and who will quell dissent like the blackout before it ever gets off the ground?

        Lol … All you have to do is give moderators permissions to a teenager with an axe to grind and they’ll work for free for years

        I hate Reddit because of all this stupidity … I’ve jumped ship not looking back and I’m staying on Lemmy

        Tbh $0.20 a day won’t get you very far even in Bangladesh nowadays. Moderation costs will be quite high in the end for them.
