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

any guesses to when the admin demote the mods?

as soon as they realize they really needed them and now they are gone.

as soon as they realize the subs stay dark and traffic from search engine drop.

as soon as the mods can't use bots anymore.

Probably earlier than we think but still unexpected.
