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.

This happened to my ~770 people subreddit r/ntfy too. They really lost their marbles, didn't they? I turned it back to "Public" out of fear that they'll delete my Reddit account. I fear even "Restricted" won't stop them. So instead, I'll manually delete or lock new posts and direct them to the Lemmy instance. I may assign another dummy mod account too and unassign myself. Maybe that'll give me a way to close the sub in the future.
What is the fediverse home for ntfy?
Never mind... I clicked on the link :)
