Why continue to mod it then? Let the place wreck itself with whatever nefarious modder shows up to do the dirty work.
It's hard to just quit something you've nurtured for years.
I was never a mod, but i was an avid reddit user for close to 15 years. It was a sad day when I deleted my accounts, and it wasn't a decision i made lightly.
16 years for me, and quitting Reddit was easy. They're killing rif, so in my mind they're killing Reddit. This shitshow is better observed than experienced, anyway.
Maybe malicious compliance is more effective than a full strike.
I think this is their way of not modding but not being replaced by other people who would mod as normal. Malicious complicance as @sisyphean said
That's basically what /interestingasfuck is doing. Anything goes within global rules.
Mods spent countless hours on building those communities. They still care too much to just leave. There's still some hope left I guess.
