Which is why /u/jailbaitlover I mean /u/spez is sending the message that they would gladly give total power to whatever mod crosses the picket line so they can boot the rest.
If Reddit had to replace all these mods it would be complete chaos and is not much better than the blackout. They will see the same exact problems Twitter has seen since they fired most of their content moderators.
Bad moderation is a recipe for desaster and can be the death of any site.
It’s not as easy as putting anyone in place of the mods that are protesting. Putting power-hungry unexperienced people in place of the old moderators may be one of the best ways to actually kill reddit (or any site for the matter)
I’ve seen it happen many times to count.
