    They’ll also remove the mods and appoint new ones.

    This assumes that A. There will be anyone willing to do the job at this point and further B. Anyone that actually does want the job won’t use it for their own gain or otherwise put their thumb on the scale and make the sub less appealing anyways.

      You can absolutely bet on there being some alt right assholes already waiting to take over in the right moment.

        Moderating large subreddits is a ton of work, chances are the people willing to do that work are already doing it and will thus either be part of the ones being removed or to busy with their current workload elsewhere. I mean it’s basicly a unpaid volunteer job that doesn’t benefit your resume, doesn’t exactly sound like something people stand in line for.
