I think instead of going completely dark it may be beneficial to lock down the subreddit with a sticky linking to related communities inside the federation to help people find a new home

      They will just post an open invite to regular users and they will become mid in the spot. I could see Reddit doing that

        Would not go well, dedicated mods that have experience , have a tough enough time, given all the pitfalls…

        Throw some randos in and it will be interesting to watch how well they do, and for how long.

        Yeah, maybe. And I guess some mods may go back, although you’d think many that participated in the blackout would stay out. I guess we’ll see what happens tomorrow.
