What should I do now lol
They steal your sub if you stay inactive, they steal your sub if you switch to porn... I guess the last viable option for visible protest on reddit is another John Oliver sub. That and leaving.

I wonder how long it'll be before they scrape the bottom of the barrel and send that message to me for closing the r/dfshow sub. The sub is a support community for my DF-SHOW Unix (and Unixlike) terminal file manager. I was planning on unveiling the sub as part of the 0.10 release of the project, however, the API drama kicked off before then.
If they do decide to forcefully reopen the sub by kicking the only moderator, who is the sole developer of the project and currently the only subscriber to the sub, then we'll know they're desperate!
Can you just delete the sub? I'd prefer that to having it yanked from me. Dunno if that's even possible, never been a Reddit mod.
I would imagine the admins will just revert the deletion. Their hands are tied by law in a number of places regarding a user deleting their own data, but a sub might fall into a grey area they feel legally safe to revert.
I responded by opening a /r/mildlyinteresting style user poll and switching the subreddit to restricted mode so people could actually vote on it. At least that way, I've got grounds to say I'm acting on behalf of the users. If the poll result was to reopen, my plan was to attempt to hand over the subreddit to the team behind the project it's about (which I'd tried before when there were like ten subscribers, but it's more compelling now there are 80K), but it looks like staying closed is winning.
I don't want to destroy the subreddit until all its posts have been backed up somewhere else that gets indexed by Google as it's an important tech support resource.
