Because fuck Reddit, that's why.
Metacanada opted to leave instead of being arbitrarily banned, which is exactly what they would have done. It sends a more impactful message when you voluntarily leave.
Yeah. That, and freezing the sub before the admins banned it allows us to keep the sub visible so that visitors can see the redirect to the .win.
If we'd just kept going until the admins banned us then metacanada would have just suddenly turned into this one day, in which case the subscribers wouldn't have any directions on where to go.
We did it the way we did it in order to keep the redirects visible, rather than have the sub replaced with the "this community has been banned" page.
