Recently, the mods of r/security and r/cybersecurity opened up a dialogue with you about what each subreddit should be used for and how we could best serve your interests. The feedback was nearly unanimous- cybersecurity content should be posted on r/cybersecurity and related content from r/security should be pointed there- effectively merging the subs without removing the existing content from here.
Today, after a few delays, that's what we're doing.
Tomorrow, March 21 (to give you time to finish up any current conversations, etc), r/security will be put in a "read only" state to preserve the existing content, and we would like to invite you to subscribe, post, and interact over at r/cybersecurity. Earlier today, we implemented the same rule set over there that was in place here, and will be taking measures to ensure the content on the consolidated subreddit is high quality and relevant to your interests. That's a work in progress.
Eventually, r/security will be re-born as a more general security-focused subreddit; we're still working out the details on that one, but we think you'll like it.
Thanks for the important work you all do. Stay safe!
