The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].
This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.
Glad to have found a new place to hang out!
Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up
Same, I just hope development picks up to match the traffic.
That’s amazing.
Are these 60% of all subreddits or 60% of the subreddits that made the claim that they’d be going dark?
60% of those subreddits that made the claim. The blackout is now on its 3rd day and many big ones (e.g. r/apple, r/formula1) are staying dark indefinitely.
60% of the ones that made the claim. There are millions of subreddits.
The latter. Still pretty significant, mind you, with some really heavyweight subs still staying closed.
https://reddark.untone.uk/Damn that’s still a lot more than I thought. Hopefully it sends a message and advertisers and investors start getting annoyed and put pressure on Reddit
actually, why care. i am fine here. the community is way nicer and everything is new and evolving.
The twitch stream shows 5124/8829.
5124 are currently private.
8829 pledged to go dark.
So ~57% of those participating in the initial blackout are still private
well I got permabanned for shitting on spez and awkwardtheturtle so this is good to see. Fuck awkwardtheturtle btw.
I think it will be worse when RIF and Appolo stop working.
+bot moderators.
60% of subreddits that intended to go dark in the first place, not of all active subreddits.
