7750/8300 subreddits are blacked out. Plus the server issues caused by the blackout yesterday. I’d be interested to see if an indefinite strike could be powerful enough to reverse this plan

Reddit has MANY more than 8300 subreddits. That 8300 is the number of subreddits who SAID they would shutdown.

Wow, that’s way higher than I expected. I hope just as many people transfer over to nee platforms so we can get those communities restarted.

How did the blackout cause an error?

I expected they would see less utilization, so the servers would be coasting compared to a regular day
