That's what they're doing, the issue is all the content that was already written. Years of content on interest specific subreddits and ages of communal knowledge locked away at the whims of some insanely tiny minority is indefensible. - When people posted the content in the first place, there was an implicit assumption that the moderators wouldn't throw a tantrum and hide away their content. And it's not like there weren't other options: they could have walked away. Left the subs unmoderated and make Reddit deal with the fallout. Instead the moderators decided to craft extra powers by weaponizing access to content they didn't make.
