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.

This site has a graph that shows how many subs are private: https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/
I find it a good way to see how the situation is evolving as a whole.
This is a great resource, thank you! Interesting to like that there was an impact over the past 2 days, but it looks like it's going back up to normal today. I guess we need to wait until the end of the month to see what happens with apps shutting down and subs continuing/going back to blackouts. Hopefully this wasn't just a one time, 2-day reduction in traffic.
It also tells you that, depsite all the subs that blacked out, total comments posted dropped by something trivial -- like 10%.
Admittedly, if Lemmy took that 10%, it would be a coup for federated services. But it looks like Lemmy took less than 1% of reddits total traffic during the blackout.
