My contributions were possible because I and a bunch of other non-mods contributed. As I said, I expect the commercial entity to preserve my content until the entity decides not to, not some random third party.

My prior experience moderating other forums tells me the contribution of these community moderators are often way exaggerated and usually easily replaceable. Some form personality cults and periodic rotation would actually be a good thing.

That entity delegated responsibility before you ever posted. That you didn't care back then doesn't matter: it's always been this way.

Pretty sure taking the subreddit private as a form of protest is an unintended abuse of "delegated responsibility", and they can take that back at any time. Which is what they are considering anyway if gp is to be believed.

Given that subreddit s have been doing it for years when it served reddit's interest, I disagree.
