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.

    I get that, and respect it very much. You care about others and the community you've helped create. But Reddit is now actively exploiting that care for their own profit. Reddit draws value from your community and the advice it offers others. If that advice is poor then yes, people will suffer, but that's on Reddit for allowing this all to happen how it has, not you.

    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.
