No moderation would get them immediately banned and replaced. It's not a sustainable form of protest. It may lead to lower moderation levels in the short and medium term. But in the long term it means the permanent replacement and takeover of subreddits by admins and their puppets.

I seriously doubt reddit has that level of manpower or cronies to spare. The site is seriously not sustainable if they have to do the paid labor it would require to do all of this themselves.

Doubly so on weekends. Which would, conveniently, be when such a protest could start. The 1st of July is a Saturday. Imagine you being the guy being told "We need you to stay in the office on Saturday playing frontpage whack a mole against our entire userbase. There WILL be porn in there. So much porn."
