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

    It gets harder and harder to tell what the truth is in this age of disinformation and astro-turfing. It seems like there’s a pretty clear motive for certain interested parties to take the wind out of the sails, so keep your bullshit detector turned on for now.

    Edit: Now that I think about it, this probably applies in both directions.

      Undoubtably. For example, sure posts might have dropped but comments/active users haven’t. We focus on posts because it fits our narrative. They focus on comments/active users because it fits theres. Who’s actually correct? Both and neither. Only time will tell who is actually right. God do I hope its us but we will see.
