The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].

This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.

Glad to have found a new place to hang out!

Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up

I noticed something weird earlier. I'd taken to doomscrolling r/all and just resigning myself to removing the maximum 100 subreddits roughly in order of annoyance. I had 99 blocked subs before the blackout, and now there are only 69. I don't think private subs would disappear from there, so... maybe those 30 subs just got axed in their entirety.

Either way... nice.

It felt really good to delete my reddit account. I hadn't logged in or posted in months, and just lurked for a while. I was amazed at how toxic it had become. Reddit angries up the blood! (to paraphrase Grampa Simpson)

I agree and you aren't really aware of it until you are gone for a bit. I'm convinced the algorithm promotes some toxicity as it likely drives more engagement, which in turn promotes ad revenue. kbin feels like real human engagement. I replaced all of my reddit comments with a mild protest statement. Will likely delete on June 30th.

I'm surprised the admin haven't taken over and unprivated subs and demoted mods. Any guesses to when that'll happen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It happened once but I haven't heard of any other cases

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

any guesses to when the admin demote the mods?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

as soon as they realize they really needed them and now they are gone.

as soon as they realize the subs stay dark and traffic from search engine drop.

as soon as the mods can't use bots anymore.

Probably earlier than we think but still unexpected.

For me this blackout should have 6 months at minimun. 3 days do nothing at all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Many subs stay dark indefinitely. Had over to r/ModCoord to get an impression. r/formula1, r/apple, just to name some of the big ones.

Keep this shit up! Blackouts won't mean anything to Huffman if we all come back after 48hrs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not hard to keep it up. Nothing dragging me back to reddit. the only thing i am missing is the immense amount of aggregated information

Reddit admins gone an fucked up here with this grandstanding, ChatGPT is here now and its turning a bunch of us amateur coders into a more powerful force, im currently using ChatGPT4 to help me write an application that will create a sum and review system of Lemmy user accounts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Be sure to double-check anything that ChatGPT4 creates. It's good at being plausible but not so good at being accurate.
