Reddit admins removed many of my old subreddits out of personal spite

The fact that it happened all at the same time is really suspicious, as is the fact that subs I was no longer a mod on weren't affected. And it's the same kind of BS they pulled when I was still around. They've somehow managed to hate me more than I hate myself.

I found some subreddits you still mod that haven't been removed yet: /r/needagoodmod and /r/uAwwFoxes. I'm not really sure how the admins chose which subreddits to remove first.

If the admins did give /r/FoxesInSnow to Iangator, I'd say that it's suspicious. However, since they didn't, I don't think the first 2 events are particularly suspicious because /r/FoxesInSnow seemed to meet the criteria, and /r/retcons was inactive. I don't think it's that similar to the cases where they banned subreddits and users for made-up reasons or replaced mod teams with their own approved powermods.

By the way, I got a response from Hesychazm.

To summarize:

Hesychazm is the only remaining mod and said that you preferred to move everything to /r/EverythingFoxes. Someone (I'm guessing it's Iangator) messaged the subreddit asking if Hesychazm wanted to turn it over, but Hesychazm thought he was a bot after looking at his post history and asked if he wanted to turn it into a porn subreddit. Iangator got mad at that statement and "threw a huge tantrum". Hesychazm "blocked the sub" (made it private?) and modded their alt account in an attempt to ward the admins off.

Hesychazm doesn't have the time and energy to keep the sub up (focusing on real life), so they're considering handing over the subreddit to someone else (possibly the person currently running /r/EverythingFoxes).

Edit: I nearly forgot that the subreddit was renamed. Hesychazm knows about that.

Those are both empty.

I was wrong about that. But since Hesychasm is still active it shouldn't have gone down.

and /r/retcons was inactive

They had almost 3 years to ban it. And they coincidentally choose this time? It seems more likely to me that they were going through my mod list.

The subreddit was removed (purged) because mod activity doesn't count (only creator activity counts)

From my original comment

Maybe. It's pretty obvious that the admins dislike you.
