Then the admins will just override them and force the subs public. They’ll also remove the mods and appoint new ones. The only thing anyone can do is stop posting and leave.
But at least we are doing everything we can to inform everyone about what’s going on, why it’s bad, and why we’re upset. We also let them know that there’s a place to go where we can rebuild what’s lost.
This assumes that A. There will be anyone willing to do the job at this point and further B. Anyone that actually does want the job won't use it for their own gain or otherwise put their thumb on the scale and make the sub less appealing anyways.

Yes, there will be people willing to lick Spez's boots.
Moderating large subreddits is a ton of work, chances are the people willing to do that work are already doing it and will thus either be part of the ones being removed or to busy with their current workload elsewhere.

We have our own space dont worry. Shitpost.club
