60% of subreddits are still dark! Reddit activity down 30%

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

Subs going dark is great but keeping users off is the real goal. I'm not even going to view anything Reddit until corporate pulls back

reddit is dead, it happens to all websites eventually and this is a long time coming. I'll never go back, I'm happy to have found the Fediverse.

but damn, if that was really it (hypothetically), it was a rapid fkn downfall. sure they stumbled for a while but nowhere from falling.

The big test for users is going to be once the apps shut down. Right now, it's still very convenient to browse whatever is left on reddit. On July 1st...we'll see.

https://reddark.untone.uk/ There are big subreddits indefinitely dark. The drive will reduce once google stops indexing hidden posts. And the moderation bot situation is another story...
