It’s not just that. You can’t delete a subreddit. Even when it was open source. It’s not in the code. It’s not physically possible for a sub to be deleted.
I wonder if there would be any value to go and start a bunch of new subs on reddit, with a very specific set of guidelines. Essentially an army of bots could populate these and it would serve as pure noise. A sort of DDOS if you will. I don’t think this could affect big subs, but it would drown out any smaller subs. Anyways, it’s just a thought.
