Mods can be replaced. Remember r/TheDonald? Not that I have -any- sympathy at all for those trogs, but the admin dealt with them by deleting all the mods and appointing new ones that would toe the line. There’s nothing to stop them from using that playbook again. A lot of people will leave, but a lot of people will shrug and go back to posting cat pictures.
Yeah it’s gonna be quite an interesting event. Most of reddit’s newer userbase doesn’t seem to care, but then again the mods of major subreddits do.

Yeah, called it. But I was hardly alone in calling it.
