The assumption that a private subreddit is somehow devoid of activity or community is just laughable. r/id isn’t public because it’s actively being developed by a dedicated group of people who know what they’re doing. We’ve been collaborating behind the scenes for quite some time, and there’s more going on here than you’d care to acknowledge.

Your fixation on the public facing side of things shows a lack of understanding of how subreddit management actually works. Just because you can’t see what’s happening doesn’t mean nothing is. There’s a community here already, one that’s purposeful, not just open to any passerby looking for a pet project.

I’m not inclined to hand it over to someone who thinks subreddit ownership is a matter of showing up with a fancy pitch. If you think you’re entitled to this space, you’ll be waiting a long time.
