Is it possible to delete a subreddit if you were the one that created it? That would be what I would do if it were possible.

MODERATORS
Yes, but reddit can undo it. A little while back, /r/KotakuInAction was nuked by the head mod, who had not been an active moderator for years. He deleted all content and set the subreddit to private. However, since his actions were malicious and the rest of the mods could only watch since he was above them in the mod order, reddit admins removed him from the mod list and restored the subreddit to before the mod went crazy. This is likely the same logic they'll use to reopen the subs, only it doesn't work since it's not the work of one rogue mod, but the mod team as a whole.

As much as I support the protest and no longer want to use Reddit, people with that opinion are probably a small minority. If people want to stay on Reddit despite everything, that's up to them in the end. Reddit won't be the same, and some subs will be a shadow of their former selves when they lose the mods, but people are allowed to stay if they want.
It seems to me mods should be resigning and moving elsewhere if they want to. Reddit is not going to change tack. By all means do everything to let them know how shitty they've been (delete your account and all posts if you want). But also let people try to take over and keep things going if that's what they want.
Federated social media is the future (I hope). Unless the community controls the platform, similar problems will keep happening.
Why is everything good always marginal.
I'm tired of getting treated awfully.
This is pretty much what I think as well. I migrated to here mostly because I think that the root and core of the Community has done the same, and r/startek was one of the few places where you could still talk Star Trek without unreasonable whining.

I think it won't be overnight, but there's probably a sea change coming where more and more people are getting fed up with gigantic centralized platforms and all the manipulation and trolling that the companies operating them are all too happy to let go on. I seriously doubt the mods are going to get their way on Reddit, but I suspect it's going to get even less worth visiting from here on out.

They are probably currently interviewing Paramount employees for the mod position.
That's probably a good guess. Either that or trying to sell it to them somehow.
Since they are looking for revenue, selling/renting out is quite likely.
I guess everything connected with Disney will be next.
Though I wonder if reddit is still in the grey zone where they can't really enter a relationship with big media conglomerates because their reputation precedes them.
I mean, big mouse will probably not become involved with a company that hosts a lot of pornography.
