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 agree, it definitely was uncomfortable moving from reddit at first, but seeing how familiar the site was, and how much nicer the community is, it feels more like an upgrade than just swapping platforms.
Also, I didn’t expect the protest would have so much of an impact, but I’m all for it!
You can feel humans behind these posts. No AI generated content. No toxicity, no “in conclusion” and stupid summaries. Amazing
I feel that so much.
No bots. No companies or agendas. Too small to be interesting to them as yet. I like it.
I’m with you. It really is amazing how much kinder this community is. I love it!
