It’s not even true though. Subreddits belong to the user who creates it, they become the top mod and delegate to other mods. If users don’t like how a subreddit is moderated, they are free to make their own subreddit - they aren’t supposed to take over someone else’s subreddit.
This is the fundamental shift that reddit is trying to make right now. Subs no longer belong to you, and if you “misbehave” (displease reddit) they’ll gladly move what they now consider to be their thing to someone else.
Legally they might even be in their rights. But if they actually follow through they’ll soon need paid mods or they’ll only have unsuccessful psychopaths for mods.
I’m not so sure about that. I’m no lawyer, but I do know that there’s a lot of legal precedent for allowing people/things to operate a certain way, like land use. However, technology is still new to the legal system that’s set in the 1800s.
