MODERATORS
Just ran a Wireshark on it for 12 hours. The only thing it ever does is a frequent ping to their home site, but includes no useful data other than an IP address if you're not on VPN. I wouldn't worry about it personally. If it's a big deal, DNS block darkreader.org or block pings to it through your firewall... Chances are it's just to download the latest css rules when they have them or something.
