This seems like the kind of change you would make before announcing another bigger change that you expect will attract significant uproar from the users.

I feel like all the niches I visit Reddit for are being enshittified.

Small ones are floundering, apparently due to being deprioritized by the engagement algorithms according to mods I've talked to? And even worse, a lot of discussion is moving to Discords and X.

Big ones are getting more karma farm style posts. I know people have always complained about this, but its never felt this bad in fandoms for shows and such.

Thanks for the heads up.

I can see that there might be a need to ensure some consultation in a sub, such as a notice period. Especially so for users that might wish to delete their post and comment history before a sub goes NSFW or private, but this is just another step.

As if being an early adopter in selling all their content to train LLMs wasn’t enough to justify avoiding the place.
