They would want to test it on one subreddit first and see how it went. The quality will tank, but this is something they could get away with.

Welp, I'm officially never going back to reddit, might as well start deleting my account now...
And I thought they wouldn't go any lower. It's disgusting how far they're willing to go - it's like they're so eager to prove us right.
Itβs depressing that Iβm not surprised one bit. At this point, I donβt even think itβs worth sticking around until 3PA shut down on the 30th.
Yeah, I'm out. I'm still learning this whole Lemmy thing, but it's scratching the same itch that Reddit did.
I think this killed reddit for me, even if they reverse their shit it's still the same company that desperately tried to push it in the first place. Only a matter of time before more of the things I liked about it are stripped away, might as well rip the band-aid off now.
I'm quite happy here now. Given up on reddit. The day Apollo's API key is deleted is the day I edit all of my comments and give up on the platform completely. It's strange I how feel no regret over saying that. It's just the way it's going to be.

Investors: "You took over a sub in concert with a user named u/PussyWhistle?"
This is what we call scab behavior, Kids do not be like this mod, do not be a scabb, if you see a picket line do not cross it. If everyone else is striking join your fellows and strike with them.
I was looking at the reddit protest stream when it happened. Since it only says it reopened, i was a bit sad that such a huge sub would withdraw their desicion.
This makes more sense, and its awful.
Greedy people fuckin' nice things up. Nothing new under the sun.
Reddit? Are the new? Never heard of it π€£ Probably won't get very big
I wonder if they saw a bunch of traffic trying to access advice animals and decided it was a good testing grounds for removing mods.
They did the same thing to admins of other major subreddits even before the blackout. They also removed initial posts regarding it on major subreddits. Thats why I chose to leave.
So much for all the "oh, it's not hurting our revenue" dismissals.
bootlickers, inc.
This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.
