      yeah sure. but for the larger communities like r/funny that’s gonna take some leg work. You don’t just reopen a 40 million user subreddit without a substantial amount of mods. That’s not even thinking about the abysmal state of modding tools and death of modding tools due to API pricing.

        Not to mention the massive amount of pissed off redditors that will just come back to fuel the fire and spread anarchy.

              If the removal of third party apps does not kill Reddit, then the flood of spam, likely will. Those mod tools and bots have been the main things keeping the floodgates shut, and Reddit has “promised” mod tools for years with no sign of actual development, despite mods practically begging for them constantly.

              It will not be an instantaneous decline, but more likely one drawn out over a few weeks.
