Eject the current mods, is kinda going nuclear. It will damage the trust Redditors have in a subreddit. However, should Reddit do that, then I would imagine they will do that on a larger subreddit and a consequence of that, that news will spread like wildfire. That in turn will, most likely, cause moderator walkouts.

I know current Reddit management is acting like they are stupid. That doesn't mean that they are stupid.

But that's just my 2cts.
