/r/videos announces that it will be entering it's blackout early - and indefinitely - given recent events
(media.kbin.social)
Think this case in particular is pretty interesting. Former default subreddit and one of the largest on the site (Top 20 at least).
I think /r/videos is where we'll see how things actually play out with the reddit admins. I'm guessing at some point the admins will step in and replace the mods.
I hope the current mods are serious and have a fail safe process to remove all sub reporting rules, AutoMod, and other restriction.
If reddit admins resort to forced take over, let the sub reset and be open to all videos extreme, nsfw, gore, and bot post. Let's see how well the sub is without mods.
Would be sorted out in minutes.
Everything posted/done on reddit is stored. If a mod/mod team goes rogue reddit removes the mods and hits the big "go back an hour" button, installs some new mods and most people wouldn't even know something happened
Only if those new mods know what they're doing. Reddit will run out of people who know what they're doing very quickly. Filling mod positions with randos isn't the same as successfully running a community.
