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.
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.
