The truth is that there are many, many niche communities where this is simply not true. Whole sections of reddit will die off due to lack of moderation and people will be forced to go elsewhere. This may not be a killing blow for reddit, but it will be devastating to the communities that it impacts.


Every community you’re talking about has users who would love to replace the mod team.


So that they, too, can get treated like crap by reddit? I don’t buy it.


No so that they can be the ones who get to ban people and shape the community.
