A user on tildes describes how to go scorched earth for mods:

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

The options in bold, they have no defense for. That's where the pressure points lie. The rest they can cope with, but not those options, not if lots of subs and users go that route.

Unban all banned users

Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs

Do both of these together. Make every banned account into a mod!

Might want to avoid turning the sub NSFW, reddit admins claimed that as the criteria they are watching for to remove mods. They say they are taking action to prevent porn being spammed.

Which is funny, because the NSFW rules state that it's not only porn, but profanity as well:

NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content
Content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity, which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace should be tagged as NSFW. This tag can be applied to individual pieces of content or to entire communities.

Literally according to Reddits own content policy rules, any sub that allows swearing should mark itself NSFW - which basically means all of them because I've yet to find a sub where swearing wasn't allowed.

I mean most of these actions would probably end with the mod getting removed, but yeah the current target is NSFW, as that directly affects reddit's ability to serve ads.
