Idk if there's anything much they can do if a huge amount of subs have now basically blacklisted twitter. Pretty sure the people at the top of reddit can't force mods to allow twitter posts.

Reddit showed during the API protests that moderators are not in control of the platform. They absolutely could force the allowance of twitter links if they choose to.
