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.

Sexy bots near you want to satisfy you

You know, the weird part is? I got two followers, and one of them was a guy I messaged earlier when asking if he'd post his content elsewhere. (I mentioned lemmy as an option) Well, the profile was different - instead of being "XXX YYY", the one that followed me was "Alternate YYY", so I assumed it was an alt. He didn't message me back on the old nor this account, and when I tried to visit it said "this account name doesn't exist". He keeps posting and is probably neutral about this whole thing, but it's just, odd why he'd use an alt right then and then delete it or have it banned (maybe he promoted lemmy or protested on it, idk, I brought up lemmy in a post title on a smaller sub but it got banned by "the mods of r/sub". My account is fine tho)

Weeeeiiiiird, I'd be curious what happened with his accout
