Why continue to mod it then? Let the place wreck itself with whatever nefarious modder shows up to do the dirty work.
Maybe malicious compliance is more effective than a full strike.
It's hard to just quit something you've nurtured for years.
I was never a mod, but i was an avid reddit user for close to 15 years. It was a sad day when I deleted my accounts, and it wasn't a decision i made lightly.
Same, around 2008 was when I first discovered it and even with Lemmy as replacement it feels now like something is missing from my life. However, browsing Reddit and supporting spez with every second I spend there was the worst feeling, so this will have to do.
I think this is their way of not modding but not being replaced by other people who would mod as normal. Malicious complicance as @sisyphean said
That's basically what /interestingasfuck is doing. Anything goes within global rules.
