Nice seeing so many of those that I visit often are dark. Before the blackout, there was talk of if they should go permanently. But, those discussions will happen after things go back. With Spez being a dipshit about it still, I'm thinking several of them will leave Reddit forever. I'm good with it.

I've taken my subs down for the couple of days as a starting point. Not sure I plan to bring them back up until there is change but we'll see what happens
Personally I don't think I'm going back now. Have your plans changed?
Would be nice to see a graph over time
Wow, you can't even login to reddit to check what subs are black now. Must be getting hammered to death...
Donβt even want to login to give them a hit.
Same

I'm pissed about r/pcmasterrace not protesting. Anyone knows why?
Because the only people left there are the ones that forgot it was a joke.
in general I would assume any subs not participating are run by mods who value their mod status more than the quality of their community
subreddit named after Nazi propaganda has bootlicker mods, wow, what a surprise
"subreddit named after Nazi propaganda"
Please.
r/PCHerrenrasse must have been taken.

Two major subs called /r/technology and /r/programming just went dark. This seems to have reached great levels now considering that CEO /u/spez himself is a senior mod on /r/programming sub.
At this point, I think the most visited and interesting subs are already down on reddit, love to hear any exceptions which are still up and running.
I decided to check the front page (as in /r/popular, what people see by default) out of morbid curiosity since most of Reddit has gone dark now, and honestly itβs like nothing has changed for the casual user.
The biggest subs with the most traffic havenβt gone dark at all, and all the same posts and popular stuff still fill the front page, so for many people I suspect theyβre not even going to feel this, but maybe itβs a bit too premature to be making this conclusion, letβs see what happens.
EDIT: I was somewhat premature with this post, even /r/popular is pretty barren as things move nowhere near as fast. That being said, it's disappointing to see how much is still open, and how some subreddits (such as /r/pcmasterrace) are clearly missing the point by allowing "certain posts".

Holy shit over 2.5 billion combined subscribers. I've also been seeing quite a few people deleting their accounts, myself included.
8 years, 11 months.
I'm going dark in solidarity. 100 minutes to go in my time zone.
Goodbye, u/mutisi0n. Goodbye, Reddit. It's been real.
The amount of dark subreddits is wild. I'm pessimistic that this will create any meaningful change on the platform, but really hoping either way that alternatives not backed by corporations will grow and compete.
If nothing else its forced people to consider the need for an alternative and to open their eyes to places like Tilde/Lemmy/Kbin/etc. It may not be much now, but over time if reddit continues it's shitty behaviour and people now know these alternatives exist, more and more people can move over.

Seems like Reddit is completely down now. Frontpage hasn't loaded for 15 or 20 minutes.
RIF still works lol.
That probably won't last given Spez's bullshit, but I gotta say, Lemmy is looking pretty promising. The Jeroba mobile app is a little underwhelming though, voting and replying to comments is a hassle. Maybe the RIF dev will make a Lemmy app or help improve Jeroba.
The RedReader Dev had said he's looking to include Lemmy.
How is it a hassle? It seems perfect-enough to me.
At least on Android, I can't respond to or vote on responses that show up in my inbox. Clicking on the message itself does nothing instead of taking me to the message. The UI definitely needs improvements in usability but it's still very much in development as far as I could tell.

4909 dark atm, sad to see it slowly coming down. Hold!! Hold!!
Love this website, well done Dev/s
There's also a Twitch stream linked at the top of the page. Join us in sitting around, watching, and chatting as the proverbial shit hits the fan!
if the site won't load for you, the link is twitch.tv/reddark_247
I feel like each time a sub goes private there should be a custom final message or something. Like a last post saying "Goodnight and good luck" π
The website is redirecting me to the livestream now.
Nevermind, just seen the noteβit's because of too much traffic.
So are subreddits still planning to stay shut for only 2 days or are we extending that? Because 2 days does not seem enough for this.
