Yeah I didn’t even realize it had already begun. I’m praying that this community stays alive, otherwise i gotta find another instance to make an account. Honestly I would love to get a donation link for the Dude but he’s too nice to ask for money. Just let us pay you and keep the server from going down bro.
Ohh that makes sense. In hindsight it stands to reason that they have more than 7200 subreddits. Still though, even if 7200 go dark that’s a sizable chunk of a redditor’s daily consumption. I can only hope that the majority of those will stay private for more than 48h, probably wont do any good but it would at least send a strong message.
The blackout is currently happening at least in 5000 of the 7000 subs, I assume that’s why the errors are happening now.

Wow that’s insane! 86% of subs are private rn according to their stats
That’s 86% of the subs that said they would go dark, AFAIK. Not total reddit subs, I think there are something like 20k subs in reddit.

hope they go dark indefinitely.
There are over a million subs in reddit and like 140,000 of them are active.
Is that hyperbole or are there actual blackout stats somewhere?

Holy fuck. Combined subscriber base of 2.5 BILLION. All going dark. We’re in danger 😳
FWIW those have a lot of overlap, it’s not unique subscribers. Plus there’s a couple of default subs included.
Yeah I know half of the world isn’t on reddit. I’m still impressed by the number of subreddits that went dark though.
A lot are restricted as well. Technically still ‘public’ but not allowing new posts/ comments.
