Indefinitely until reddit picks new moderators and reopen them. No way they'll allow major subs closing down.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoYes but there are too many big subs closing. My guess is they couldn't support more than a couple dozen on their own.
- jacksnipe 3y agoMods are not fungible. It’s tempting to feel that they are, but they have an enormous influence on their communities.
- pests 3y agoName a single mod. I can't.
- AlexandrB 3y agoMods are like air traffic controllers. If you know their name, they probably fucked up badly. I suspect we'll know the names of many more mods if Reddit goes ahead with replacing them en-mass.

- makeitdouble 3y agoI'd hate to be so aware of the mods that I remember their names. As much as they deserve gratitude and praise it's supposed to be transparent. I only knew one name, once, because the other mod showed him the finger and started another sub. I followed the drama, agreed he was a dick and moved to the new sub. PS: actually, I remember heroofwar and pinko from HQGifs because they're part of the meta jokes of the sub.
- grecy 3y agoI agree with you at heart, but that's like saying the head of a hospital or the head union guy dictate what the experience of being in a hospital or shop floor are like. That is absolutely true, but in the interest of making money the owners will replace them in a heartbeat. Sure, the vibe will change, some existing users will move on, but there are always, always new users to hook. Reddit are not even paying these mods pennies, they couldn't care less about them and getting rid of them to find ones who are more "compliant".
