    It will. It will make the mods and the power-users realise that Reddit don’t care and won’t change course. Then it’s up to them.

      I completely agree. Reddit has shown no indication of backing down. They will just wait for it to finish if the lockdown is as short as ~48 hours. If a major/big sub goes on lockdown indefinitely, they’ll open it and replace the mods. I’m pretty sure there are tons of people out there willing to mod a big subreddit like r/videos for one reason or another. The reddit of the digg migration era is gone. It’s just corporate reddit now.

      I don’t give it much time until they start replacing the mods if the blackout drags on for long.

        Yes, I agree. It would be logical to assume they’re confidentially seeking out new prospective moderators behind the scenes at this moment ready to take over.

          It will be like having anti popes. if I were have to gone on a long vacation - like 5 or 6 weeks, I am guessing when I returned I might not even notice anything different for a while if I didnt use an app to access. I’m sure they will ban anyone who mentions the great schism.

        Replacing them with who? Reddit, Inc doesn’t have anywhere near enough personnel, and replacing them with random subreddit subscribers will probably be disastrous.
