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 deleted my 10 year old account this morning!
I noticed something weird earlier. I’d taken to doomscrolling r/all and just resigning myself to removing the maximum 100 subreddits roughly in order of annoyance. I had 99 blocked subs before the blackout, and now there are only 69. I don’t think private subs would disappear from there, so… maybe those 30 subs just got axed in their entirety.
Either way… nice.
