This is a cool website for tracking the blackout as it happens.

I made a conscious decision to stop using reddit yesterday. I’ll delete my account next weekend.
I was wasting a lot of time endlessly scrolling through AITA and similar subreddits. Going to make sure I selectively subscribe to lemmy communities and treat it like a news aggregator.

A user boycott is a good idea. I’m doing that too.
I’ll be doing the same. I’m still getting used to Lemmy, but it seems like a pretty good alternative so far. Smaller and more confusing (initially) perhaps. But it’s better than me sticking with spending too much time on Reddit.
I wonder how many others have been trying to break that reddit addiction and just needed a reason, and an alternative that isn’t so bad.
So…Lemmy can be my vaping
wow over 5000 dark as of now: 4 pm NZT, 12am Eastern Standard Time (EST)
At 23:55 12 June NZST, 6552/7265 subreddits are currently dark. That’s 90.2% dark.
Great wee website. I thought it wasn’t working, but it was indexing or refreshing …lots!
I was wondering how we would fare as our Monday is now. Glad the subs are dark. Screw companies. Getting screwed on every single front.
Daaaamn, that’s a massive chunk of the site gone dark, and there’s a few that won’t be back. r/notjustbikes has pulled the plug once and for all, for example.
Fortunately /r/CK is still around. If /r/NZ does something you can count on them to do the opposite.
Fits with their pointlessly contrarian attitude in general.
Sup!
I have low hopes for this protest to drive enough users offsite. Things seem different on the internet compared to back in 2010 when Digg collapsed.
