I see this as a good thing. Now Reddit has to bear the cost. Even if they find replacement volunteers, some employee still has to make that happen. Likely several. It’s costing them. And that’s what the goal was. To weigh them down.

I was hoping every mod would walk away. All at once. Like you say you can run it all, there you go.

The subreddit originally had three moderators but was replaced on Thursday with just one, ModCodeofConduct.

I’m guessing u/Modcodeofconduct is a bot.

The only reason I go back to reddit is to copy/paste a modmail I wrote to those asking to get in. I end it with listing asking them to think about some Reddit alternatives and link the sites too. (I list: Lemmy.world, kbin.social, tildes.net and squabbles.io in that order)
