I think instead of going completely dark it may be beneficial to lock down the subreddit with a sticky linking to related communities inside the federation to help people find a new home

They probably don't have the human resource to cover all the modding required.

They will just post an open invite to regular users and they will become mid in the spot. I could see Reddit doing that

Yeah, maybe. And I guess some mods may go back, although you'd think many that participated in the blackout would stay out. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Yea. I like lemmy though. Has real potential

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely, I really like it. Exciting to see it grow :-)

Would not go well, dedicated mods that have experience , have a tough enough time, given all the pitfalls...

Throw some randos in and it will be interesting to watch how well they do, and for how long.
