View submission: Experimental reddit change: subreddits may now opt-out of /r/all
As a mod, I love this news. As a user, I don't like it.
I'm torn!

As a user I personally value good quality discussions over a throng of low effort comments that are only posted to give you a cheap laugh. With this change moderators are able to get more control over their subreddit and we'll see less bad comments, trolls, drama and personal attacks in general. Many of the heavily moderated subreddits will most likely opt-out of /r/all, but that itself isn't the moderators fault.
Is it worse for the casual user and reddit as a whole? Yes, absolutely, but it'll also mean higher quality discussions and quality control in the subreddits that decides to opt-out.

As a user it is a bad change for me, because I use /r/all to discover new interesting subreddits which I'm not subscribed to yet.
