Fucking dumb to force them to reopen and then when mods say fuckit ban the sub. This is some bad parenting.

And who are they going to have take over mod responsibilities (for free) in all of these communities at once? This is why mods need to call their bluff and force them to try to replace them.

Yeah this is the dumbest move possible. I can only assume they're trying to scare other mods into alignment because they can't replace the moderators effectively. Well, I'll cheers to their stupidity!

Who they gonna replace them with? Paid employees? That'd go against their whole business model! XD

"We'll replace you with loyal moderators" has always been an empty threat. You don't just find people willing to take the responsibility of moderating a 100k+ user sub on the street.
