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/

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.

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

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.

@alyaza@beehaw.org can we un-sticky this thread please, since it's no longer relevant?

[–] katie@lemmy.tillicumnet.com 2 points 2 years ago

So one thing I've noticed is that /r/videos is still labelled as "public" - I wonder if there's a way to show subreddits that have restricted new posts as well? (Maybe I'm missing the point here)

It’s overwhelmed apparently

It dropped by about 2000 comments per minute and about 100-200 posts per minute. Assuming weekend peaks are about the same as weekday peaks that's a pretty significant reduction of thousands of posts not posted and tens if not hundreds of thousands of comments never commented. That's a fairly significant dent and could drop a stock price by a few percent, but certainly not a company killer.

The long term question is if this exodus removes too many power users who drive engagement, not to mention the effects on moderation and how reddit replaces or recalls the users it alienated

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