Also a good opportunity to back it up everyone with just not visiting their site. I've added 127.0.0.1 reddit.com old.reddit.com www.reddit.com mod.reddit.com i.reddit.com
to my hosts file so I don't accidentally follow a link to Reddit (I think they have a lot more subdomains, so the hosts file based approach isn't perfect, but hopefully good enough for a quick solution).
This is awesome. We all need to stick together on this one
My Reddit frontpage only contains a few minor subs still which are probably without an active moderator and some „going dark“ announcements. Very noticeable.
I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!
So they use reddit APIs to check the status? They must be very rich
According to their GitHub page (their code is all open source), they pull the data from the r/modcoord sub.
So after June 30th we will not have an idea about the state of things anymore... :P
This is great. Some big ones are already dark.
I'm really confused by the chart on the site https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ I understand the dip annotated with the red arrow, but I do not understand the rebound annotated with the green arrow... With that many sites down, it should not be possible to rebound to normal levels...
I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.
What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn't dip or rise with comments. So now I'm wondering how automated a lot of posting is.
Bots, all the bot posts. If you even check "All" for a bit even on Lemmy you will see the bots are moving here as well.
If you go to the site and view by new it's just page after page of /r/askreddit. Tons of people posting to it with nowhere else to post. So that would explain some of the rebound but the graph is still odd that it rebounded to exactly where it should be if there was no blackout.
Time to sit back, relax, and watch ~~the world~~ Reddit burn 😎 🍿
The notifications contain the wrong amount of members for the subreddit, they all say 5k and below ^^ Not that it really matters, just FYI
This is amazing
Enjoyed watching the stream on twitch, was expecting more of a tsunami of subs going private quicker.
I was thinking it would happen at midnight (some local time) but the trickle of subs has been pretty neat actually.
It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?
Is there a way to see what subs re dark out of the actual total? This looks like it is what % are dark compared to what % are restricted?
In other words I confused what the n is on all of these

Choose 'percent' on the third card on the left.
Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!
This is great to see. Thanks for sharing.
