First they came for /r/pics … now Reddit are coming for the individual personal subreddits
Quite some years ago I’d realised that amongst the problems with using Reddit as a personal blogging space (my avatar here is a relic of that, if you’d not put the two together) was that I do not in fact have any permanent claim to that space.
Reddit’s previous policies of moderator re-assignment bothered me. The policies apparently instituted September 2022 and being rolled out aggressively in recent days … have not weakened my concerns.
And, checking in now, I find a day-old modmail to /r/dredmorbius, a subreddit which only ever was my own personal posts with comments from a few friends, and about 1,000 subscribers … has received a notice to reclaim by /u/Modcodeofconduct, screenshot attached here.
I have not abandoned the sub. I had closed it in protest of Reddit’s continued failings and war against its volunteer moderators and general community.
And I will not go quietly.

Funny thing is as a mod you can ban and mute that u/Modcodeofconduct account lol!! They wouldnt allow me to respond to that message so I banned and muted it for the max amount of time (30 days). Taste some of your own medicine reddit!!
