MODERATORS
Then we also don't know if the action is just temporary to just remedy a problem before IPO or a serious consideration. Rolling it out quickly is moronic too because what about smaller subs & targeted harassment.
It might also cause some interesting problems.
What happens if a sub votes out all the moderators of a sub, before there are any new ones?
Could they remove Reddit devs from /r/Reddit or /r/Reddit.com? Being admins, they could probably just put themselves back on, but the imagery of them being forced off their own sub is a little funny.
Pretty obvious that these tools only apply to dissenting subs… after this all blows over, there won’t be a single reddit employee even looking at this system
They even explicitly stated that!
This system is being implemented for the sole purpose of kicking out mods that are keeping subs private. It's absolutely retaliatory. There's no chance that they maintain this system as an actual long-term change to reddit's mod removal policies. It would be too much overhead to staff.
