I think instead of going completely dark it may be beneficial to lock down the subreddit with a sticky linking to related communities inside the federation to help people find a new home

I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit deleted such posts and then banned you for doing this. Although I am surprised they haven’t reopened all of the subreddits themselves.

They probably don’t have the human resource to cover all the modding required.

They will just post an open invite to regular users and they will become mid in the spot. I could see Reddit doing that

Yeah, maybe. And I guess some mods may go back, although you’d think many that participated in the blackout would stay out. I guess we’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Would not go well, dedicated mods that have experience , have a tough enough time, given all the pitfalls…

Throw some randos in and it will be interesting to watch how well they do, and for how long.

If it’s a small enough sub with a tight knit community, they’d have to shut down the whole sub anyway

If the mods are gone, then large subreddits become a legal liability.

They won’t waste their time managing the subs until they see who returns tomorrow
