I have a feeling all of the default subs will be taken over pretty quickly. The small subs will be forgotten about.
That's what I expect to happen as well. Nothing stops them from kicking out the current mods / admins, replacing them with new mods willing to take over and continue as before (or even use AI moderation tools to minimize the efforts).
Who though? Who wants to mod a community that big, for a company that will throw mods under the bus, for a company that is burning bridges with developers instead of finding reasonable compensation, for a company that that is so bad at supporting mods mods have to rely on third parties to support (which they are also burning bridges with), for a company that is "not profitable", for a company that is laying people off, not hiring.
AI moderation? No way they will "meet increasing regulatory compliance" with that.
What a fucking shitshow. There are just no words for how big of a hole Reddit has dug itself.
Plenty of shills and ass kissers willing to do the deed. The roles will get filled quickly by them
