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
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.
Here is the website where you can see recent blackout activity and the graphs.
That’s amazing.
Are these 60% of all subreddits or 60% of the subreddits that made the claim that they’d be going dark?
The latter. Still pretty significant, mind you, with some really heavyweight subs still staying closed.
https://reddark.untone.uk/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.
Same, I just hope development picks up to match the traffic.
