Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.

Edit: Adding the stream https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247

Double Edit: Data visualization https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

It does have a pretty big impact on the first day already.

I will be paying attention to this the following couple days. I wonder how they are going to tell investor, lol.

Enjoyed watching the stream on twitch, was expecting more of a tsunami of subs going private quicker.

I’m watching the lights go out in real time here with this site, it’s really cool to see!

Was gonna share this here myself and then realized I still don’t now how to search Lemmy on either client I use. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@alyaza@beehaw.org can we un-sticky this thread please, since it's no longer relevant?

I'm really confused by the chart on the site https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ I understand the dip annotated with the red arrow, but I do not understand the rebound annotated with the green arrow... With that many sites down, it should not be possible to rebound to normal levels...

[–] Master@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

If you go to the site and view by new it's just page after page of /r/askreddit. Tons of people posting to it with nowhere else to post. So that would explain some of the rebound but the graph is still odd that it rebounded to exactly where it should be if there was no blackout.

Reddit itself seems to be completely down for me. I wonder if this is drawing a lot of attention and just overloading them, or tinfoil hat, they’re shutting off the servers to hide all the blackouts…

I wish someone or a dev could make this list in these website and propose lemmy/kbin equivalents for us the redditors to join instead. On the other hands mods of those subreddits if they want they can make a community over these platforms.

[–] Ardiente@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly all the mods I asked before deleting my account did not respond or said they where not interested on migrating
