A friendly place to chat.

Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

Someone made a site to track in real-time all the subs going dark. On every hour, as new countries ticked over to midnight, there'd been a sudden spate of them all turning off and it was satisfying to watch but also kinda morbid and sad.

Then the site got hit by way too much traffic and wouldn't stay up, and he had to redirect everyone to watch a stream of it on Twitch instead. Which is now also dead because the last person fixing it when it broke had to get some sleep. There were 13,000 of us watching at one point last night.

TLDR Now you can find a fork of the original site at https://reddark-digitalocean-7lhfr.ondigitalocean.app/ and a working stream with added cute animals here https://www.twitch.tv/rawreporting
