That post seems to be missing.

I appreciate the effort, but since this is one of the main subreddits the Reddit admins will simply purge these subreddits of their mods, install new ones, and reopen it (they’ve already done something like this before).

The real question is how well will the sub operate then? I imagine not very well since all of the experienced mods and their tools are gone.

This was my immediate reaction too. Reddit will likely replace the current moderator team of r/videos and reopen. Nonetheless I can appreciate and respect the gesture/message.

This is easy to do for one subreddit. And it's a large one. Would easily need 10+ mods to keep it running. But if a few of these large subreddits revolt, I don't think reddit can simply replace them all.

Not only that but I think replacing the entire mod team would cause a revolt anyways. Tensions are extremely high

Yeah I don't imagine that Reddit has a deep bench of people who have the skills needed to moderate a sub with millions of users and are willing to do it for free

Tin foil hat stuff though: what if they intend to pay moderators they hold on thrall, but they need to get rid of the current ones first.

Seconding this. They'll likely install their own mods and force-reopen the sub, since it's one of the bigger ones.

Same with r/technology, and other main subs, id assume
