Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.

Edit: Adding the stream https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247

Double Edit: Data visualization https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

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...

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.

It does have a pretty big impact on the first day already.

Thanks for sharing!

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).

Time to sit back, relax, and watch ~~the world~~ Reddit burn 😎 🍿

Reddit itself seems to be completely down for me. I wonder if this is drawing a lot of attention and just overloading them, or tinfoil hat, they’re shutting off the servers to hide all the blackouts…

Edit: seems to be working again.

So they use reddit APIs to check the status? They must be very rich

[–] Acetamide@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

So after June 30th we will not have an idea about the state of things anymore... :P

According to their GitHub page (their code is all open source), they pull the data from the r/modcoord sub.

I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!

[–] PapaTorque@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This is great. Some big ones are already dark.

[–] katie@lemmy.tillicumnet.com 9 points 1 year ago

So one thing I've noticed is that /r/videos is still labelled as "public" - I wonder if there's a way to show subreddits that have restricted new posts as well? (Maybe I'm missing the point here)

[–] reric88 9 points 1 year ago

This is awesome. We all need to stick together on this one

I wish someone or a dev could make this list in these website and propose lemmy/kbin equivalents for us the redditors to join instead. On the other hands mods of those subreddits if they want they can make a community over these platforms.

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.
