    That’s what the protest should have been, disabling automod rules, and the human mods going on vacation. Maybe announce a “no rules until further notice” to entice additional chaos from regular users.

      This is actually against their TOS so if this happened they could just seize the subs as “abandoned” or “unmoderated”. I agree it would be effective but it would also give reddit an easier out when dealing with the situation.
