That's what the protest should have been, disabling automod rules, and the human mods going on vacation. Maybe announce a "no rules until further notice" to entice additional chaos from regular users.

damn! now i want to see that happen. it would be so much fun to see the reddit without free mod's labour reddit admins would probably want to die if that happens lol

This is actually against their TOS so if this happened they could just seize the subs as "abandoned" or "unmoderated". I agree it would be effective but it would also give reddit an easier out when dealing with the situation.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
