This is really interesting to hear about. Were you the creator of both communities that you unbundled from Reddit? Or did you bring the moderators on board with your business plan? Also how did the users react when you killed the community?

In both cases I was not the original creator but was a longstanding moderator who inherited an active community.

They brought me on board with theirs.

Positively. Reddit as a corporation isn't actually well-liked by the majority of the community. Poor administration policies, poor design changes, slow UI - there's a lot to complain about.
There were, of course, a few who loudly complained. But there will be a few who loudly complain about any change or no change at all.
