[CORRECTION] 7742 went dark out of the 8299 that committed. Interesting to note: 204 of the top 250 subreddits are dark (src: save3rdpartyapps.com).

An open source website to watch subreddits going dark

As of 12:56pm GMT (7:56am central time), 7742/8299 subreddits are no longer public

The information I initially posted is misleading. Thus, I have edited the title and this content area to report accurate numbers.

As @roofuskit mentioned, the 8299 number is the amount of subreddits that committed to going dark, not the total number of subreddits, which is over 3,000,000.

And as @8thiest was keen to observe, 204 of the top 250 are dark, as you can see from this site: https://save3rdpartyapps.com/

    All of this! Plus, from my perspective anyway, this has given a lot of people the chance to get their feet wet with other platforms and ecosystems.

    While it may not be a majority, I do believe there will be well seasoned users that see how the whole thing was handled by Reddit, and see the potential in these other avenues, and stay in those new places instead.

    So far, I would say I’m one of those users. After a decade on Reddit and decline in quality, I’m certainly happy to call a new platform home and grow with it.
