Mods that were pushed out by other mods in the past

People with vendettas and power vacuum opportunists

People that want a different narrative on a subreddit

There are tons of people that have other causes and interests than API tooling or company drama

You know, this is all quite ignorable

That's not exactly a list of people who are likely to do a good job.

I think that's part of Reddit's problem - They can replace the mods with random people if they want, but the likelihood that those people will put in the work and do a good job is not high.

based on what? is the control group the current mods because that's already a laughable set of people. there is no criteria before and there will be no criteria after.

You forgot people that don't want any narrative and would prefer to see all the content as long as it doesn't violate site wide rules.
