Just stop moderating them already. Don’t go dark. Reddit will revert. Don’t make it NSFW to stop ad profits. Reddit will revert. Just. Stop. Moderating.
Let it fill up with nudes and hate speech and then sure, let’s have Reddit forcibly remove you. They’ll pull in a new team of mods but if they’re just picked out of the blue, they’re unlikely to find the time and energy necessary to do it well because this takes passion and many teams were assembled carefully over time with votes and selection processes for a reason. It’s often a team effort of passionate people. Moderating poorly risks putting the subreddit on collision course with the community but hey that is Spez and gang’s problem, not yours.
I don’t think there is any other language that Reddit understands than this. Mods – take a breather and see what the world has to offer. It’s not just all about Reddit.
