I hate to be a pessimist, but it's not gonna work.

Most big subs will reopen, and those that don't will get their moderators replaced. The bulk of the user base is gonna switch to the official app and meme about how bad it is right on Reddit and get Reddit Gold for it.

I'm still gonna stick to either Lemmy or Kbin. I like the smaller community here; it reminds me of Reddit's olden days when everyone wasn't a cynical asshole.
