They could just not moderate it tho. Reddit is a toxic workplace (for free) for mods.

MODERATORS
I recently wanted to ask something on reddit after 2 years away, because a certain mod dev is there. Got a message it got deleted because i don't have the karma to post in that sub. Thanks for the effort, never again. That's why i don't write on Stack Overflow, too.

A friend and I were recently discussing how spineless modern boycotts are.
We set a goddamn deadline for when the Reddit boycott ended. No wonder Spez just waited. Most people then just continued using the website. What a disgrace.
Imagine if after one week of the genocide in Gaza, the BDS efforts just stopped. A boycott must be indefinite. It should go on until demands are met.

like 10 seconds in automod to get right around that shit lmao.
Here's the VP of Reddit's community cited in the article, Laura Nestler, preaching super engagement from a platforms most fanatical users to power content for the 90%.
She suggests, intrinsic motivators such as "autonomy".

She was at Yelp prior, which if you want to look at a steaming pile of a wasted company, man give reddit 5-10 years.

Lack of imagination.
Mods can still dump 10k trash messages in a sub making it unusable. (Or smart messages in the case of most subreddit who are trash anyway).
Set-up automoderator with rules reventing anyone below 5 billions karma to participate.
Ban everyone.
I'm sure there are a lot of other options.
Banning everyone takes a bot, which is rate limited. Same with a trash flood.
Automod though, you can easily set to do things like remove all new comments and submissions, remove stuff on one report (which lets you use the argument no one really believes that you're letting the users have more control.), allow new submissions but lock every comment section, or allow only select users to post, whether based on karma, username, flair, etc.
Possibilities are endless really.
If your subreddit is big enough and you do anything disruptive they’ll just take your mod powers away and give them to someone else who won’t disrupt it.
The best thing to do is either over or under moderate the subreddit in a way that seems legitimate but leads to the usefulness of the community dying off while also migrating the most useful content off the subreddit.
Mod-to-rule

I just checked and theyve banned my private subreddit for lack of moderation
I'm not surprised. I'm on this site because I'm sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.
