    People are literally crossing the digital picket line to scab unpaid moderator positions to do free work for admins who are using intimidation tactics against their moderator peers.

    Reddit is doomed

      If your money, reputation, family, friends, career, etc it’s on the line, I can understand how people would fold under pressure.

      You’d literally be walking away from someone who doesn’t respect you, and then asks you to work for free.

      How spineless do you have to be?

    if forced to reopen, they should do it (rather than get pushed out and effectively give admins full control), but allow only a single new mod post every day- “day 5 of forced reopening discussion thread” and lock every other post.

      And get kicked off day 2 while the threads get deleted. Probably the most effective way is to just open and not do any moderating.

    Reddit can go fuck themselves. If this is how they’re gonna behave, we might as well kill the site now before it can become further entrenched.

    If there are mods here who are willing to work towards reopening this community, we are willing to work with you to process a Top Mod Removal request or reorder the mod team to achieve this goal if mods higher up the list are hindering reopening.

    Translation: please snitch and we’ll give you control of the subreddit. We don’t have enough staff to moderate all the subreddits ourselves.
