    The real question I think is will Reddit retaliate back and forcibly recover communities and install new mods?

        It makes sense from their perspective but still kinda shitty.

      If they tried to hire enough mods to do a quality job of it they’d be bankrupt by the end of the year. I don’t know if they’ll have enough capable volunteers for a significant fraction of the subreddits.

        True, although the way things are going, some instances don’t have the mod capacity right now. Lemmy needs more moderators and moderation tools as people move to the service. https://beehaw.org/post/567170
