So what is it, do the mods get to control the subs they made or not? Reddit are such clowns right now.
Reddit Migration

We should just request to mod and make them private again, rinse and repeat
USE BCC, NOT TO OR IT WILL SHOW ALL THE COMPANIES EVERYONE YOU EMAILED.

GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!
Please don't do this. I'm a moderator of a sub (won't say which one). From a personal standpoint I'm happy to use both platforms. Vilify me if you will. But I do not want to see messages from users asking if we're going to migrate. That's pestering and it won't go well if that particular subreddit isn't into it.
How barbaric! But it's good that they are showing their true colours, it will help the remaining redditors make up their mind about leaving.

Hilariously, a subreddit that I mod, with less than 700 subscribers and like, 4 slightly active users (3 of whom are mods), just got the threatening modmail. We only went private as a gesture of solidarity, there's maybe one post a week so it's not exactly a bustling community. I'd made the sub public for about an hour every couple of days in an effort to avoid this sort of thing, guess it didn't work.
At a time like this, I am at least glad that I was never a mod there, and I don't have to go back there to try and deal directly with that toxic corporate business anti-culture.
If I had invested years of love's labor into a community, only for this to now occur, to realize I am being regarded as little more than trapped prey by a site I trusted, it would be tearing my guts in all possible directions.
You've heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap? There's an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.
