I can already hear the voices of mods wishing him good luck moderating reddit on his own (in fact, I was certainly able to hear my own saying so before I de-listed myself as a mod).

I am impressed at how badly they are managing something that was initially merely "not the best idea" and now has become a true shitshow.

RIP reddit, you may very well survive this, but you'll never again be "the front page of the Internet".
