    This is extremely short-sighted on reddits part, elevating lower mods to leads can cause so much drama in a community particularly when the lower mods don’t have experience, the lower mods will probably make basic mistakes that’ll turn the average base away from the subreddit.

    this is really going to bite reddit in the ass if they try it more its like trying to fix a leak by sticking random objects in the hole

      This plays out like things I’ve seen in real life:

      1. Get a community/club/church/workplace going with a good set of leaders.
      2. The system becomes unwieldy through bureaucracy, excessive rules, whatever.
      3. Leadership can’t change it, so they storm off in a huff after nobody listens to them.
      4. Power-mongering Assistant to the Regional Manager takes their shot to run the show.
      5. Everything becomes awful.
