I guess they couldn't replace all the mods and re-open all the subs

That's part of what made reddit interesting tho. Having these niche subs that still had a reasonable amount of activity. If they loose that this is the one thing they had over lemmy for me personally. I've never been particularly attached to say r/pics but r/aspiememes was the bees knees. They are coming to lemmy by now.
r/streetphotography had 300,000 subscribers.
Interesting for whom? You and me? Sure. Reddit? Nope.
Yup. But then that another reason for users to leave reddit behind. Which should interest reddit. But it's been clear for a while they can't even act in their own best interest.
Publicly traded companies by their very nature have to prefer short term profits. It's no surprise that Reddit does the same in preparation for going public.
