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.

    For some time I also used reddit as a personal blog and to save stuff to watch years later, then I read about the limit of 1k results per listing.
    This means any api call to retrieve the posts/comments of any kind of sorting is limited to the first 1k objects.
    So you can only get the latest 1k new posts, the 1k hot posts, the 1k top post of any time frame, etc.
