    If I had to guess, there are too many users who would become appointed as moderators, then just shut down the subreddit again. The admins need time to filter through the applications to find the genuine bootlickers.

      Yeah I fully expect reddit to replace the moderators but it will take time and effort to select the right people.

      If all the mods who protested actually resigned or moved their subs to being unmoderated it would’ve crippled the site, reddit would not be able to replace them quick enough.

      It’s unfortunate that the threat alone was enough to get most of them to reopen.
