Like it or not, years of insight, experience and expertise live in Reddit threads. But accessing some of them just got harder.

    Good. They should stay closed. Sadly a lot of subs are capitulating and opening up again.

      Fewer than I thought though, I would have thought the whole thing would have evaporated by now.

        I’m seeing the amount of closed subs decrease every hour. This morning there were over 7000 still closed and now it’s just 6510.

          That’s because America has woken up. Given that the blackout was planned for 2 days I’m actually quite encouraged that there are still 6500 after then. Even many of the ones that have opened have opened pending further discussion on the next steps. I’m not optimistic about the overall outcome for Reddit, but the more people that can be driven to alternatives the better.

            It’s only 6170 now :(. I’m losing hope.

                True, and I’m not! I deleted all my shit and I’m not going to post there anymore. I might read a Reddit post if it comes up when I Google something (because there still is a lot of good information on Reddit that can’t be found anywhere else) but I’m not contributing. It’s a shame though, I really liked giving away spare game keys etc. on Reddit.
