All mods had to do was collectively say they are no longer going to moderate. Let's see how quickly reddit admins cave when they need to pay moderators or have the site filled with stuff even 4chan doesn't allow.

But how will the mods then do their unpaid mod work :/

Like seriously the mods that actually cared either swapped to lemmy / kbin or made their own thing or made the alternative protests.

Exactly this, don't make them dark, leave the unpaid work and let it rot

the trouble with this is if Reddit tries to forcefully replace those mods there's still power hungry boot lickers that would happily accept moderating for free
