A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

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

This is great to see. Thanks for sharing.

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

Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!

It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is amazing

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.

Sadly all the mods I asked before deleting my account did not respond or said they where not interested on migrating

I’m watching the lights go out in real time here with this site, it’s really cool to see!

Enjoyed watching the stream on twitch, was expecting more of a tsunami of subs going private quicker.

Was gonna share this here myself and then realized I still don’t now how to search Lemmy on either client I use. 🤦🏾‍♂️

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)

Just hit 6600. Watching the sub names and the comments is a fun afternoon.

Is blackout.photon-reddit.com down?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like Reddit is down, which is probably taking down the site.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

My partner had the same issue this morning

@[email protected] can we un-sticky this thread please, since it's no longer relevant?
