    This is the real result. Yeah subs will open back up, but the mods who are left are just weird keyboard warriors who think being a mod is like being a cop (I mean obviously this is a generalization, but it’s mostly true) The quality of individual subs is going to suffer and therefore the overall user experience will suffer.

      Yeah, if that place dies it’ll be a wither on the vine situation with a somewhat slow negative feedback loop rather than anything overnight. Or it might limp along a wounded and lesser animal ala twiiter.

        I’m kind of starting to think that may be what Reddit wants anyway. Just look at the kind of content that floats around on TikTok and Instagram. The tech nerds will leave, but that will leave space for scrollable junk content for an entirely different - and a lot larger - audience.
