I hope the major subs stay dark. The only thing keeping reddit afloat is moderators. Without tools the mods would need full time paid positions which is never going to happen. I'd like to see them all burn. Its become a shit show of adds and bots now anyway. Good riddance. I wish someone would incorporate freenets web of trust system to some type of decentralized app like this.

Could they not replace the mods? In the end, don’t they own the subreddits? Who owns the intellectual property?

In a lot of ways we do. If I choose to delete my profile, there goes a ton of posts from one sub.

You have to manually delete your content, they don't delete themselves. Or use a script

Under EU GDPL they would have to erase everything upon request if they don't want to get fined into oblivion.

Good to know. If it comes to that I will. Anyone who spends any amount of time adding to a community though is like killing your own creation. I did this for us.

But they already sucked their sweet datasauce out of it when you posted it

They'd have to find people as enthusiastic. Quality would likely drop.

[–] Krka 14 points 1 year ago

Quality would absolutely drop. Even if whoever replaced the mods was just as enthusiastic, losing that much institutional knowledge/inertia would be devastating for a while.

They'd also need to find a ridiculous amount of people (~28,000 mods according to Reddark?). Or have fewer people be insanely overworked, either way you're right; quality will drop.

I used Redact earlier for an old account, worked great
