    The casuals aren’t the core reddit, and the core are the very important mods and the people that are very active, they bring most value and most content, without them reddit is basically brainded, they might pull traffic for some time, but many subs will shut down forever and no causal user is suitable to moderate.

          I meant more that we’re kidding ourselves that the site won’t survive without us. I’m hoping it doesn’t, but if you go there now, everything still looks alive and active.

            Right now, yes. After 1 Juli?.. Eh.

            Its not like we are the only people leaving, the communities im active in have gotten less traffic in recent days than they have usually, idk if thats just a little statistical noise, or if its a first step.

            Reddit relies heavily on community mods, and they rely on their api access.

            I just hope reddit dies now.
