Besides having their community migrate to Lemmy, the thing moderators can do that impacts reddit the most is making their sub NSFW, because

  1. Reddit gets no ad revenue from NSFW subs, and

  2. NSFW subs will be excluded from their new $60m/year AI training deal.

I imagine if mods changed subs to NSFW for actually non-NSFW subs that those mods will be replaced with bootlickers with boots so far up their ass they can taste them.

This actually happened. Mods werde forced to turn back to SFW or they would have been removed

And some mods stuck to their guns and were removed and replaced by bootlickers.
