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.

i actually find the lack of moving stuff refreshing. All the platforms are moving to short addictive video. Reddit wasn’t like this in the beginning, either.
Well, the great thing about the fediverse is you can actually block out things you don’t like, permanently, unlike on Reddit.
I think more content the better, generally speaking. Of course there’s communities I’ve already blocked from my feed even with the little available currently.
