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.

    Nice to see the subreddits listed by subs. Reddit can’t ignore this… interested to see how they respond. I’m sure it will be some half baked knee jerk reaction that will get the community even more against them.

      I’m not entirely sure. Seems like there will be plenty of inertia from the subreddits remaining open. I’d imagine that eventually Reddit will force them open again.

      But they aren’t going to be getting those moderators back on the site without some sort of change. It’ll be really interesting to see how much of an impact that has.

        Reddit will replace the mod teams of the core subs with some of the many power hungry citizens of the web.

        If they need to I expect they will pay contracts for them.

        I’m not optimistic that it will affect Reddit.

        I fell like throwing out the mods might just be that reaction. Anyway if anything, I might only share Lemmy content on Reddit in the future.

          this is what we are doing, moving everything here then will be resharing links to lemmy posts on reddit. going to do the same thing on all the centralized networks.
