Wonder how many mods of big subs are drawing plans for a massive migration. I know some big ones established discords but it’s not a reddit alternative.
I was going to suggest that maybe a large group of mods could stop moderating until changes are made. Because Reddit would have a hard time replacing all those mods quickly, I would’ve thought.
But then, are changes from Reddit desirable at this point? They’ve shown just how determined they are to make themselves richer at users’ expense. The best thing is for Reddit to fail at this point, I think.
Moderators can’t exactly do “massive migrations”. Sure they can set up shop a Kbin or Lemmy, and declare that the “official” new home, but that doesn’t mean that their communities will follow them. People read subreddits because of the submissions and the discussion, not for the mods.
It may work for some specific niche subreddits, where the mods are some kind of official representatives of the community, like how we saw the “Jellyfin” project migrate from reddit to their own forum, but I don’t see that working for large generic subreddits like /r/pics or something.
In a way this whole thing is a reality check for some mods too … just because you moderate a big community doesn’t mean that you are a big deal.

I have a relatively big sub that’s 13 years old but I have no interest in modding anymore. Someone else can recreate it here if they want.
