If the mods were smart, they would know that they have the power, not Reddit, if they held the line. Reddit absolutely can not afford to add a bunch of mods to payroll, nor will they easily find enough people to volunteer their time to fill that many empty mod positions.
You think those people will last? I honestly don't know. I suspect the current mods are mostly sociopaths, but most wanting to replace them probably are too. Still, I think most don't actually realize what they are signing up for.
There are enough woke morons who will volunteer so they get to censor. We had a guy volunteer to mod KiA2, and unfortunately we accepted because we needed more capacity. It was a disaster. He spent months doing absolutely nothing except, no kidding, abuse his power to flagrantly violate the rules. He also converted to being pro-BLM even though they nearly burned his house down.
The only good moderators are those who have no interest in being a mod and who are picked out of the userbase.
Wait, what? Who? When? 🤔
Electroverted. Probably no one you know. He joined somewhere early in 2020, nearly got his home burned down by BLM, and ended the year by shilling for BLM.
I didn't want to name him, because at least he had the minimal decency to resign when I asked him to, instead of forcing me to remove him. But rest assured that he's nowhere near the mod team there or here.
Admin can just take over the subreddit and reopen it. Mods have borrowed power that comes with the disclaimer that their power only exists as long as the mods listen to the admins
Not so sure about the last part. There's always some IRL loser thirsting for power.
