Over 50% isn't too bad at this point in the game. We'll see if it drops lower over/after the weekend, but that is still a significant portion of subreddits, which are the only thing that generates content for reddit. I don't this this will actually do anything, and I am done with reddit now. I never felt attached to it, and I have found active communities on lemmy for most of my subs, and the community is way better here. I don't need reddit anymore.
Plus the top dozen subs only make up like a few percentage points of the ones that pledged to blackout. So if those are still out then it's still crippling. Like pics, funny, videos, etc
Pics and gifs is just doing sexy John Oliver posts only now. It was decided via community vote.
So now if he wants to change something he is clearly going against the community.
That's when you'll see a huge exodus again
