I think they're done. They did 1000 within in an hour for a reason. They wanted to do it all at once, like ripping off a bandaid. That's how they've done it in the past too. That minimizes the amount of resistance the admins have to deal with as they perform the bans, and they know it.

I don't think they will do a trickle-ban system of a few every day. I think they've learned that's a bad idea. So instead I expect to see every 3 months, another 2000 subreddits banned. Something like that.

That theory aligns with the expectation that October, the month before US election, will be the biggest Purge of all, except it won't be the "edgy" subs, but just everything on the right, with 1 or 2 leftist subs added in for deniability.
