If they do, whatever thrown together group of reddit appointed substitutes get the task of trying to moderate all of reddit at once is likely going to be drowning very badly

And you can expect people engaged with the protest to take full advantage of this if it happens, making the problem that much worse

If you simply reopen without any of the current mods, the site will be overrun
