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.

    My personal subs that have been private for ages recieved messages saying they will inform me of “further steps” if I refuse to open them up.

    One of them is /r/[myRedditUsername] that I use as a kind of scratch pad that I can access anywhere (I’ve since self hosted a wiki) that they are demanding I open up. Like seriously, no one would ever be interested in whatever is there.

    They can get fucked. I deleted all of the posts and comments on all of my accounts and requested GDPR requests on all of them. reddit can get fucked.
