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

Are these 60% of all subreddits or 60% of the subreddits that made the claim that they'd be going dark?

60% of the ones that made the claim. There are millions of subreddits.

The latter. Still pretty significant, mind you, with some really heavyweight subs still staying closed.

Damn that's still a lot more than I thought. Hopefully it sends a message and advertisers and investors start getting annoyed and put pressure on Reddit

actually, why care. i am fine here. the community is way nicer and everything is new and evolving.

60% of those subreddits that made the claim. The blackout is now on its 3rd day and many big ones (e.g. r/apple, r/formula1) are staying dark indefinitely.
