Will Reddit get quality replacements? "Not a snowball's chance in hell."

That's quite rich, after the way they treated their mods.
Really a sign of them not giving a shit about anyone.
No good person would put up with being a mod for reddit after this shit show with spez. The only incentive to put up with that is the financial gains of allowing astroturfing as a mod (for example) or having a really weird power trip. Very curious to see how reddit will evolve with that kind of leadership
I'm still technically a mod for a small subreddit. I polled the users, they weren't interested in moving over to Lemmy.
(Edit because prematurely posted)
I'm still hoping they'll move over, but tbh it's a good bunch of posters on a niche subject and the mod team has never had to be too active. The topic had a been literally unmodded for years before the current mod team fell into it, so I'm confident we're not needed.
We're literally just a placeholder to keep someone power mad from becoming mod. (Long story long: founding mod abandoned sub, came back after years, was mad the subreddit didn't agree with his crap opinions, made the sub private, I and a few other posters made a new subreddit.)

The problem is that there just isn't an alternative for some communities (yet). For some things there's ONE space to talk about it and/or a nice little helpful community.
IMO it's up to each person how they want to move forwards, and staying on in a limited capacity is a fair compromise. Another advantage being the community can later be redirected when users are ready.

They care about revenue. They made it clear during protest. “Well our revenue isn’t really impacted so whatever on we go!!”
But it was and they’re showing their true faces.
