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.

MODERATORS
My Reddit frontpage only contains a few minor subs still which are probably without an active moderator and some „going dark“ announcements. Very noticeable.

It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?
I do hope the ones going dark migrate here and start over.
This is great. Some big ones are already dark.
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.
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).

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.

This has been super interesting. I’ve never seen communities listed in this manner. I’d be interested in this kind of sort for other services as well.
Really hoping to see major players go dark soon and wishing they would stay that way, like r/videos plans to. Oh, what the world would be like if corporations actually cared about the people they profit from.
There's a handful of NSFW, but I'm surprised their isn't more since they are getting hit harder than anyone else.

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)
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.
