An interesting point about this, is that previously when people would try to gain control over subs with inactive mods the admins would drag their feet as much as possible. (I'm part of a sub where it took almost a year via several requests for the group of new mods to gain ownership of the sub).
But now some fee-fees got hurt and admins go nuclear and removes mods at lightspeed...

I'd imagine that would be offset by all the people who are redditing much less because most of the subs they frequent are private?
I... Don't think they realize how much work mods do, to both cultivate the community in their subs and to keep them from become a cesspool of society.
I say just let spez mod a spicy subreddit like WSB or dataisbeautiful. You haven't seen adult individuals decend to throwing feces at one another until they start arguing about the appropriate scale for a graph. Or one of the truecrime subs like TrueCrimeDiscussion, where every comment hidden 40 comments deep can be a dox. 🤣
