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

Wait, really? I keep hearing that the whole thing was a disappointment. Hopefully people stick it out long enough to actually force some change, then.

It gets harder and harder to tell what the truth is in this age of disinformation and astro-turfing. It seems like there's a pretty clear motive for certain interested parties to take the wind out of the sails, so keep your bullshit detector turned on for now.

Edit: Now that I think about it, this probably applies in both directions.

Undoubtably. For example, sure posts might have dropped but comments/active users haven't. We focus on posts because it fits our narrative. They focus on comments/active users because it fits theres. Who's actually correct? Both and neither. Only time will tell who is actually right. God do I hope its us but we will see.
