EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as “Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks.” will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!

POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)
“What the users want” my ass. Reddit doesn’t give 2 shits about what the users want.

I can’t say I’m surprised we’ve arrived at this point but still… If this is the precedent set then there’s surely not much more that can be done. Thing that sort of sickens me is seeing just how many people are immediately lining up to take over as mods for these subs, but maybe I’m just naïve.
We have no way of knowing how many of those accounts are real, and how many are puppets trying to make it look like mods can be easily replaced. And even if those signups are legit, imagine being a novice mod on a team of novice mods, with some highly valuable mod tools on the verge of disappearing. Between the inexperience at modding, the inexperience at interacting peaceably with other mods (which can sometimes be more of a challenge than dealing with regular users), and poor tools to handle the workload… it’s gonna be a bumpy ride, to say the least. I’d expect a lot of turnover and a lot of stuff falling through the cracks.
All I see is “let me be mod so I can follow the will of the users and keep it NSFW.”
