I was under the impression that the admins consulted with the mods before doing so, but I could be wrong; how the front page has worked has changed many times over the years, and I haven't been keeping very close track.

They send you a message, but at that point it's already been decided what they have chosen to be the defaults.

You can always opt out though. There's literally a check box you can change if you don't want it anymore. You don't uncheck that box without a lot of communication and deliberation generally, but it's there.

I'm sure that the admins would remove any sub that asked from the default list.
