Funny. That is a feature I wanted for a long time. Question is how in the world will it be implemented. Probably going to pull another Elon and only allow Reddit premium members to vote. Kinda shows the blackout is working and he is trying to find a ‘good’ PR way to weasel his way out.
Unfortunately, I can’t think of any way you could implement a voting feature for mods that wouldn’t be abused. There are bots that would be inevitably able to vote in anyone they want
Also being a mod is difficult and you will have to make unpopular decisions. Sometimes the person you took action on will misrepresent what happened or outright lie to sway public opinion against you. People will take advantage of that to vote a mod out.
Do you have some way to prevent abuse like that happening?
It also doesn’t account for the difference between what the anonymous mass of lurkers want, and what the people who actually post and comment and contribute to the sub want.

It sounds like he wants to replace that “landed gentry” with a landed gentry loyal to him.
Very good and very Democratic. Stable genius level.
