Looking at /r/all today, it seems like there's still enough big front-page subs with mods to at least temporarily reallocate responsibilities. Most of the big subs are controlled by "power mods" already who administrate many subs. I think there would absolutely be a significant longer term loss of quality, but my guess is that in the shorter term Reddit could just give the keys to those subs to the 'power mods' who have remained.

You have to wonder what those mods get out of it, considering they're doing what essentially amounts to a nearly full-time job for free.

There's an unconfirmed but strong possibility that Ghislaine Maxwell was one of the largest power mods on Reddit. https://kirbysommers.substack.com/p/evidence-that-reddit-use...
