This is just an absolutely fucking dismal idea.

I can't think of a more surefire way to ruin the site than make it so that the mob can tear down anyone who sets a quality bar any higher than they like.

The problem is that Reddit has had a mod governance issue for a long time already, so something should be done to deal with problem mods. The issue here is that what they are proposing is really bad because they need a quick fix to a festering problem.

I think it's kind of rich to hear the founder of a major platform describe his unpaid moderators as dukes and duchesses but okay

lmao

I have no problem with this. Technically, moderators who lock their subs are inactive. They provide no value to Reddit, therefore the most direct cause of the shutdown - the mods - should be removed.
