From what I’ve seen it appears that (at least one of) the mods claim to “own” the community - which is a disturbing way of thinking about moderation, in my opinion.

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.

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.
