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.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.

Edit: Adding the stream https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247

Double Edit: Data visualization https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

Not much of a drop in posts. Is it 95% bot driven anyway?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, the drop will come the first of july, when the api become $$$ :D

Bots probably just scrape anyway 🤷‍♂️

Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!

I wish someone or a dev could make this list in these website and propose lemmy/kbin equivalents for us the redditors to join instead. On the other hands mods of those subreddits if they want they can make a community over these platforms.

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...

Enjoyed watching the stream on twitch, was expecting more of a tsunami of subs going private quicker.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was thinking it would happen at midnight (some local time) but the trickle of subs has been pretty neat actually.

Is blackout.photon-reddit.com down?

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

@[email protected] can we un-sticky this thread please, since it's no longer relevant?

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

It’s overwhelmed apparently
