This is great! But the problem is they're probably just going to replace the admins/mods w/e they're called that control the subreddit and just open it up again...
There was some mods discussing this on Tildes, and the mods seemed to think that replacing them wouldn't be as easy as people make it out to be. Mods apparently have a wealth of institutional knowledge that is required due to the lackluster default mod suite, and apparently the admins rely on them to come up with their own solutions to issues. Replacing the mods sounds like it will reduce the quality of the content but also will be a big headache for any new mods to jump in. Reddit may not give a shit and they may think it won't significantly affect investor interest, but I wonder if us regular users will notice a difference. Hell, there's already been a difference over the past 10 years.
It's mostly just creative automod rules, it's not that big a deal and plenty of users would come up with solutions in short order.
