But you can check people’s comment history, at least for the time being it’s easy enough to notice if an account isn’t organic.

I’m not really sure if I’d say they’re joining the protest, the memes being posted there are the sort of things their users want to see.
r/WorldPolitics wasn’t really protesting much. They just didn’t have mods so people took advantage and it never bounced back, rather than try to fix it people accepted it.
That seems to be the trend for failed social media sites.
I’ve seen plenty of communities where it’s clear that the mods only stop by from time to time and they get by just fine, spam and malicious posts will still be a small minority. Some set automod on a shoot first, ask questions later setting where all reported comments get deleted until the mod restores them.
I really don’t think finding new moderation will be an issue. As much as it would be nice for Reddit to be screwed over by the mods it’s going to be a non-issue for them, there’s already measures in place to prevent subreddit parking and plenty of willing volunteers.
How do I make a comment
In the process of taking off at best. That’s nothing compared to Twitter right now.
