I read this update posted last night on the r/iPhone discord, and have not seen this posted anywhere yet. Please feel free to direct this to the proper community if this is out of place.

I highlighted the relevant sentence, but it seems that the moderators are discussing how to proceed after the initial Reddit blackout behind the scenes, and having the communities being unmoderated is one of the potential options.

How do people feel about going back to an unmoderated Reddit?

    Most big subreddits have a lot of people wanting to become a mod, they’d just request it from Reddit

    This is what I was thinking too, but there was no clarification of whether the mods would openly abandon their positions, or just refusing to do any enforcement of the rules besides the bare minimum (which is already what a lot of big sub mods do lol).

    Either way, this is more evidence that that Reddit will become a worse experience on all fronts.
