“If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod who wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.”
lol, shocking that Reddit is full of bootlickers who want to ascend to that petty tyrant status. That’s why there was zero chance of them not just removing the mods of any sub that refuses to step in line.
The people wanting to step in usually aren’t the content providers. They just want to ride the high of being “powerful” on an already succesful subreddit without doing any of the hard work to get and keep is succesful. So there is likely to be a massive crash-n-burn coming for all the subs that have their content providers leave (or forcefully removed)
