Replacing the entire moderation team of 5000+ subs is not a practical solution and Reddit admins know it (kbin.social)

Which is why /u/jailbaitlover I mean /u/spez is sending the message that they would gladly give total power to whatever mod crosses the picket line so they can boot the rest.

If Reddit had to replace all these mods it would be complete chaos and is not much better than the blackout. They will see the same exact problems Twitter has seen since they fired most of their content moderators.

There are always power hungry people out there ready and willing to fill the roles. All they have to do is open the gates and let people apply.

Having bodies is not the same as having dedicated moderators. Moderating a public web forum is a thankless and time consuming task full of frustrations. Putting the wrong people in that position is a recipe for disaster.

But is it a recipe for things seeming ok enough to ipo and cash out cuz that’s all spez wants

Genuinely curious because I have no experience with modding: would it seem okay if a bunch of incapable people who don't know how to moderate a very large sub got in there as mods? How long would it take for things to completely fall apart? (I guess - how long before it wouldn't seem okay?)
