Actually, currently 8446 are currently dark. Number is still rising.
We'll see after today. The subs were saying 48h which clearly is not going to be effective enough... And if it's too effective then Reddit will just replace the mods. Horrible sight to behold ๐
That's the thing though. The current mods are volunteers. Is Reddit going to replace them with paid mods or are they going to hope other volunteers step up? It could turn into a shit show if subs go unmodded or are poorly moderated.
Or Reddit is going to have to spend money paying for moderators, which is great but another consequence of their decision.
