    Walking away just leads to the mods being quickly replaced by people who will un-nsfw subs and keep them in the same state they were about a month ago… the good mods are doing their best to not be replaced by such a situation.

      Why would they not want to be replaced? Is there a point to stay under the new rules? I see no value in staying on reddit.

        Sunk cost. Some of them have been there since the 2000s moderating the same subreddit. It’s hard to walk away from that sort of time investment.

      I doubt many people are lining up to mod these subs. If the current ones walk away I think Reddit will quickly realize how incredibly fucked they’d be as a company without the constant volunteer work done for them.

      Will they though? r/interestingasfuck has been modless for 17 days. Same for other subs where the mod team has been nuked after them. Seems like it’s not as easy as we expected.
