Tried that. It didn’t take. Even though I tired remove myself, I was put back on somehow.

And the unmoderated sub can be picked back up by anyone who requests it. It’s how a lot of old porn subs got turned into subs about cats.

I once made a sub, and no one joined it. I then found out that you can’t shut one down. Every. You can abandon it, and reddit will hand it over to the first person who asks for it, but once a sub is open it can never, ever be closed.

You can hand it over though. Or at least, that is how things used to go.
