@Atko and co won't actively encourage it, but neither will they take any steps to prevent it. If someone meets the criteria for taking over a sub, then most likely the application will be approved.

It is us, the Userbase, who hold all the real power here. Don't like a suberverse because it is Moderated by someone whose views you do not share, or because it has taken a sudden shift in a direction you do not like? Go to an alternative. Unsubscribe, stop providing content or comments.

If enough people undertake the same action, the subverse will die out and another will rise and take its place.

Still say a community builds up a sub over a few years and someone comes in and trashes it, just because they like to see the world burn. I noticed something similar happened to r/punchables over at Reddit.

Edit: seems after they mocked the users they've made it private now.
