It’ll cost them though. Moderation takes a lot of manpower that they’ve almost gotten for free until now. And without third-party tools for moderation, it’ll take even more manpower.
Perhaps, but if they just decide to be private and only allow 2 posts per day as a type of work slowdown, it would be more awkward for reddit to replace the mods.
I can see subs being dark becoming a permanent thing, hopefully coders update reddit to html updater or similar tools to pull from archived zsv files.
Imagine a lemmy instance with reddit’s archives
they will replace the mods if the subs stay dark too long
