I mean one of the things that I hated most about Reddit in my final days was that the admins removed and replaced mods that purposefully closed in protest.

If someone starts a sub they should be allowed to close and nuke it at will. If someone wants it back enough then they can make a clone.

It's like, imagine you’re renting a house with a few people and one of the people none of the housemates really like (they don’t follow the house rules everyone has agreed on) marches in and announces “We all, as a group, are moving to Florida!” And then moves out and takes the refrigerator and expects you to follow. No thanks, good riddance, we’re getting a new fridge and a better housemate.

They can do whatever they want with the space, paint it blue, burn it, close it, whatever. They shouldn't expect people to follow them.

I don’t disagree with your first paragraph but partly do with the second.

If it’s a unique channel-type community you started, produce most of the content for and actively moderate quickly and consistently then, for sure, you should have almost complete control… but 196 is/was none of those things.

I don’t think requiring a mod team to mod and create all the content is reasonable barrier for control of their sub.
