Most 3rd party Reddit apps will be gone, and Reddit have shown willingness to move to a far more closed model than it used to be. Mods were and are not the only ones to leave.
Yeah people like you and me care about that, but let’s face it, if the average user cared about how shitty social media sites treat them then FB and Twitter would be deserts
FB is a desert compared with the old days, and Twitter will get there as well. Maybe the “AI revolution” can replace all the organic human content with fake people, but that’s about their only chance long term. If you can even call such a thing a “win”.
My take is slightly different. Apart from content you would find of Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Tiktok, what makes reddit powerful is human experts, especially in STEM and tech. I see many of these people leaving and reddit becoming a meme + yt comments platform.

I hope that is the case with FB but according to my American friends it’s still the social media site of choice for racist uncles everywhere

Do you remember Orkut? Digg? Slashdot?
Revisit Reddit one, two, three years from now. I think you might be surprised.

Lemmy actually has a really good API. Moderation tools are pretty simple though.
