Literally more than 1/5 of the subreddits gone dark.

Feels like watching a house burn down to me, sadly.

True. Even my country's subreddit, r/Malaysia and r/Singapore have this rare cooperation and shut down at the same time. Well, of course we should exclude subs with supermods, which is pretty big ones, but meh, it's not the supermods that are generating content for reddit, the community is. I just hope we will have a mass blackout/mass walkout on the 30th. History does not repeat, but it does rhyme.

I hope so too. I expect a lot of mods and influential users will leave after June 30

Just checked and it's at 1/3 of the planned shutdowns now.

really, really nice. Reddit is nothing without their user base.

also, sorry for double reply, but it's 3507 now, literally half the subreddits gone dark
