It’s as though this proposal was dreamed up by someone who has never installed anything on their PC.

Like are they going to block entire repositories? When you apt get install x from within france to they expect repositories to magically give you the french version?

You don’t even need to do that though. It would be the “fork” that contains the blocking, surely.

eventually it’ll run dry - because the contributors are leaving the site

I somewhat disagree… you haven’t considered the increased incentive for occasional posters to become more regular contributors as existing contributors leave.

As the volume of contributions reduces, each contribution is more likely to garner engagement - those sweet sweet endorphins released when someone upvotes or otherwise engages with your post.

This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.
