Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably. But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we’d be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.
You made a misleading title. They basically won’t be seeking out celebrities or those high value activities, and will just let the sub take its course while doing very basic modding.
Hope they cover to lemmy.
