I predict that as the blackout goes into full swing, Reddit is going to start taking over major subreddits from their mods to keep the site going. Things are going to become ugly very fast.

Iirc one of the mods said that the blackout was designed to prevent that. If it's 2 days, they likely won't bother taking them over. But an indefinite lock down they probably will. Even then though, that disruption in content will likely be too large to handle for most users

If it’s only temporary then I as an admin would just wait it out, then go about my comically evil business. Reddit staff can’t realistically moderate the entire site, so the best way to get the message across is to stop moderating and let things burn until the bean counters can’t take the heat. Just my opinion, not that I want that to happen.

I just say screw it and leave. But that's coming from more of a lurker on Reddit.

I've been wondering the same thing.
