      Of course they will, and at least 90% of those will stop moderating within a week bcause they have no idea what it entails and just like the sound of having power.

      Another 9.99% will push personal agendas, post ads, malware, etc. or a dozen other things that will kill the sub.

      In the end they’ll probably get decent moderatos for less than a tenth of those they seek.

        That is just wishful thinking. A large number of people on reddit still use it a lot. Enough to not mind sitting there and moderating. If someone stops moderating they know they can be replaced really quickly now.

        The amount of people who just want to shit on reddit with their unrealistic expectations is unbelievable lmao

          Counterpoint, the quality of moderation was already pretty patchy, and the quality will continue to decrease. The mods who left are the ones with the most integrity. In my opinion, stepping down in protest is a sign of integrity, which is a key trait of a good mod.

          The conclusion that the replacements will be worse is just a statistical average taken at face value, so who knows for sure. It isn’t an ironclad conclusion, but I think it’s a bit better than mere wishful thinking.

          Let’s say they have lost 50% of the regular contributors (very optimistic), that still leaves thousands of potential mods.

          Another mass exodus will only happen if Reddit continues to rock the boat musk fashion, else it will take years for people to move on.

      People are downvoting you because they’d like to see otherwise, but you’re right. Hell, I’d like to see otherwise, but it’s not gonna happen.

      there’s a lot of people clammering at the opportunity to shape conservations that fit their agenda. at least the cookers in the past were generally laughed out of the room but I’ve seen quite a few make concerted efforts to control certain subs

      I would love to see what happens, its psycologically convieniemt to say its good evidence, its honestly a question of percentages. What percent will moderate the hellsite and what percent will be earnist.
