This screams “Please stop this and go back to doing work for free.” They keep threatening but know they need the free labor.

Them replacing mods is what scares me the most. My subreddit is for advice for stretching piercings. If I continued to protest or even outright deleted my subreddit, and they restored it and replaced the mod team, what quality of moderating should I expect? Like I get it on meme subs, not hard to moderate that sort of content. But I know damn well they aren't going to get people with experience relative to the more specific subs.

You can never delete a subreddit once created. Ever. That’s why many are editing, then deleting, their comments.

The best you can do is to create a community on Lemmy and invite your redditors to the new community.

That's where we are now, the migration has begun. But now, I'm stuck with a foot on each boat while I spread the word.
