I think this title is a bit sensationalized. They're going after subreddits who have gone dark for the protest. That's different than "coming for individual personal subreddits" at least from my read of it. In my mind that would mean there is something they're doing specifically because they're individual personal subreddits. Like "You can't have a subreddit with one poster" kind of deal and banning them because they're not active enough or something.
In this case I understand it can be read as "Reddit aren't just going after big closed subs anymore" but the title, to me, doesn't make that obvious enough. I clicked it thinking "Oh no now people can't even have their own subs?!" when in reality it's just that one of the blackout holdouts is getting called on still holding out with the ~~new~~ not-new rule that they have stated they're going to start applying.

no, there's a concept in reddit called a "personal subreddit". You know how you can click a user and it will show you the most recent comments? e.g. /u/chankstein38 would be your comment history.
Well, in 2017/8 or something, You can choose to convert this into your own subreddit. Complete with followers, votes, and user comments on "your sub". Never understood the idea given reddit's semi-anonymous nature, but I guess OnlyFans models benefited a lot from it.
This sub is literally the user's sub.
I think we're talking about a distinction in a different spot. My distinction was that rather than "They're shutting down personal subreddits" this post was more "Reddit is even coming for mods who blackout their personal subreddits"
I do understand that they are talking about their own personal subreddits. I appreciate the clarification though!
