A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Doubt it. Most big subreddits have a lot of people wanting to become a mod, they'd just request it from Reddit - mods abandoning the subreddit is the most common reason they grant a new owner to a community.
What will happen is the quality of the subs will drop - less megathreads, less documentation, barely functional wikis, no live events, the passion will be mostly gone.
This is what I was thinking too, but there was no clarification of whether the mods would openly abandon their positions, or just refusing to do any enforcement of the rules besides the bare minimum (which is already what a lot of big sub mods do lol).
Either way, this is more evidence that that Reddit will become a worse experience on all fronts.
Those people have no idea what mods has to do on semi decent big subs, lol.
