It's destined to become like Twitter, overrun by far-right assholes and lacking quality content. The mods who kept the worst of them off the subs will be gone, and the people who produced the best content will leave as the dregs take over.
That's entirely possible, although last I checked Twitter is only on it's way there.
Oh yeah, it's a slow process, but it's inevitable.
Scabs, dregs... its like I'm in Warhammer 40k. You guys play Darktide? If not: a question from non-native speaker: are scabs and dregs a, more or less, common expression/term in English? I'm just trying to escape the trap when you notice something, you start seeing it all around.
Whenever there's a strike, scab is a very common word. I don't see dregs as much, but it's not super uncommon either. In case you don't know, a scab in this context is someone who is hired to replace people who are on strike and dregs are the most worthless part of something.
