What reddit.com is, from the removal side
Reddit is a network surface. Subreddits that repost creator sets, plus accounts that impersonate creators to sell them. Post-level DMCA through Reddit's published copyright route; impersonation goes through a separate report form.
Route openDMCA holds: Curated report form. host_handlers seed row in supabase/migrations/20260607182000_anonymize_and_impersonation.sql. A notice about reddit.com therefore reaches a route that is published and documented.
RDAP probe run 2026-09-04 against the same bootstrap service the takedown dispatcher queries. It returned abusecomplaints@markmonitor.com, which is the registrar's abuse desk rather than the site's.

Where a takedown for reddit.com stalls
Search delisting of the post and comment permalinks, which stay indexed after a post is removed from a subreddit's front end.
openDMCA routes every URL through the Removal Graph — a live map of which hosts actually remove content, how fast, and through which channel — so each takedown takes the shortest path that has historically worked for that host. For reddit.com that means the rungs above are not run in a fixed order: a host with fewer than a quarter of its resolved notices ending in a removal, measured over ninety days with at least five samples, is fast-pathed straight to search delisting instead of spending a second email round on it.
