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
Just a heads up, those 8k subs are just the ones that pledged to go dark. The actual total number of subreddits is much higher.
Still, 60% of subs still participating is much higher than I had expected.
Came to clarify the same. Title is very misleading.
Agreed though, actually surprised at how many are still dark.
I also didn’t expect that large of a percentage to continue. It’s very rare nowadays for people to resist capitalism and just end up complicit in the end like the Netflix situation.
I’m glad Reddit has a backbone against its tyrant.
I boycotted Netflix when they did the price hike and said they were ending password sharing and haven’t looked back. Been sailing the open seas ever since.
ahoy
It doesn’t surprise me. Never underestimate apathy.
Corrected. Thanks for pointing it out
