Meanwhile, at the other other hellhole: Reddit mod scorched-earth protocol:

There's only one thing they can do, and it's not a checkmate, more of a fire on the way out the door.

• Turn off all spam filtering
• Disable minimum karma requirements
• Allow all posts, disable all rules
• Unban all banned users
• Purge all allowed submitters
• Turn off AutoModerator, Scrub all configs
• Delete all CSS and uploaded images/maps
• Blank all sidebars, Delete all flairs
• Allow NSFW content, Enable sub's content on /all
• Set the sub's color scheme on mobile to something vomit-inducing
• Blank all of the text options such as the sub's topic listing
• Grab a copy of anything in the wikis worth saving
• Disable and permanently remove all third party mod tools and bots
• Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
• GDPR request for their own account data and then
• Use it to delete their accounts and all of their content
