What is the consensus on the etiquette of creating new communities/magazines with the names of the still extant old subreddits (particularly when you’re not a mod of the old subreddit)?

RIP RIF. You helped me keep my sanity at the office.

I didn’t watch Discovery at all, and don’t feel like I’m missing anything important in Strange New Worlds.

I see the drop in quality over there as the more technical (the best?) people migrate to the Fediverse. As others have noted, I’m not looking forward to all Redditors coming here and dropping the quality.

Old timers like me remember the quality of Usenet prior to ISPs making it available during the Eternal September. Before then, people on Usenet were largely college students or higher. Quality on Usenet really declined when it opened up to the masses, especially after AOL made Usenet available to its subscribers.
