Really curious to see how long the more popular subreddits will remain private. Surely the admin won’t just turn them public again without having any mods, right? I kinda would love to see that dumpster fire.

They will try to recruit new mods from the subscribers or find them elsewhere. I agree it’s going to be ugly and prolonged and will likely lead to a painful death of the communities.

Reddit can simply take over and reopen it, installing their own admins and mods.

yeah sure. but for the larger communities like r/funny that’s gonna take some leg work. You don’t just reopen a 40 million user subreddit without a substantial amount of mods. That’s not even thinking about the abysmal state of modding tools and death of modding tools due to API pricing.

Didn’t Reddit say they would be creating their own mod tools?

Not to mention the massive amount of pissed off redditors that will just come back to fuel the fire and spread anarchy.
