Reddit Blackout Tracker - https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/
does that site suggest there was no down turn in comments or posts based on the graph on the right?
It was definitely lower on Monday and Tuesday.
It’s a dent for sure. I wonder how much more effective it would’ve been if the plan was for a week, or longer.
The fact that it was for only 2 days to begin with is a joke. That’s now how a strike works.
yeah a 2 day strike is nothing lol
Yeah. Unless you already have a negotiation framework in place, it's probably a bad idea to announce how long you want to go on strike at the outset of a strike.
It's just signalling to the other side how long they have to wait you out.
I think if they said from the start it was indefinite Reddit Inc. Would have implemented plans to manually open them back up from the get go and no real splash would have been made. Saying 2 days reddit decided to sit back and wait, now the world is watching if they manually force subs open by replacing mods.
Lowered by roughly 15%. Not huge, but noticeable.
So most of the big subs are still private, am I reading that right? That's a relief. I thought most gave up at the 2 day mark.
I wonder which Is more accurate, that one or
Reddark.untone.uk
Reddark is still saying there are 3.7K subreddits still either closed or restricted.
Better late than never.
Beat me to the punch. This is only starting
I'm curious what comes next. I already quit Reddit, but I'm still invested in the outcome. I spent well over a decade on Reddit, so I wanna know how this plays out. I'm really loving the Lemmy community, and I don't plan on going back to Reddit (won't say never, cuz if they backpedal and make appropriate changes I'd be willing to go back for some things, but it'll never be at my old usage rates).
Same here. I was on reddit for 11 years and carved out a comfy niche. If they backpedal I'll go back for the smaller communities I was active in. But like you I won't be using it nearly as much. Lemmy's pretty neat and I'd like to see where it goes
r/pettyrevenge was also private for one hour lmao
So prorevenge should have been private for a month? Lol
I wonder why so many are struggling to commit
a lack of solidarity online
Because there are a bunch of mindless users on reddit that do not care about this whole thing. They aren't useful members, just content consumers. But they are loud, and mad at the mods right now.
So glad to see so many I’ve subscribed to on this list!
Why some are orange?
They are restricted instead of private. I think that means people can still view them but not post or comment.
I was expecting to see it coming back online after a few minutes, given the name of the sub.
I truly cannot think of a more poetic note to go out on. Welcome.
This is a true meta moment!
Not even close to r/travel's pathetic blackout
or TrueOffMyChest's
Something interesting I noticed here is that less NSFW subreddits have gone on blackout, BUT most nsfw subreddits are still in blackout instead of only lasting 2 days, which is cool
I think the NSFW subs are really getting fucked (hehe). The mod tools are really needed by them AND NSFW content is specifically being removed from the api.
hilarious!
