I was granted moderator privileges for r/cryptoadoption[1] via r/redditrequest 24 days ago:

As of yesterday, r/cryptoadoption no longer exists and the sub was moved to r/a:t5_dwu6s[4], apparently because of this purge going on:

Just a few weeks after I start trying to build it back up it's taken away... to "create new opportunities for future community builders"? I am that future community builder!

I'd only just gotten the visuals/rules/settings settled, and I was starting to build up some new subscribers and post relevant things there myself to kick start things. I knew it was going to be a slow process. The sub had been inactive for years, and it was a small niche.

How can I go about appealing this decision and getting the sub and its history back?

Thanks for any help

Contact the mods of this subreddit via modmail -

https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/ModSupport

Or try contacting the mods of /r/redditrequest, many of whom are the same people -

Be sure to say upfront that you JUST got this sub via /r/redditrequest and then it was taken away because of the purge. Lots of people are getting their dormant subs taken away right now due to lack of activity and moderation after years of doing nothing with them and are complaining about it here, so make sure they understand that /r/redditrequest JUST gave it to you 24 days ago, that you've been active on it, and that you aren't a slacker mod.

You can also contact them here

Make them understand that their glorious plan backfired and keep after them until they give it back to you.

Good luck!
