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

    Honestly, even a year ago I don’t think I would have imagined this happening. I wasn’t around for the Digg -> Reddit migration but I wonder if this feels a bit like that.

      I went LiveJournal > Digg > Reddit, and there’s definitely a similar energy to the Digg days - but the level of organization we’re seeing here feels totally new. The other difference though, is that the Digg migration had direction. It felt like within a month we had all moved to Reddit. I don’t see that happening here, so really this is uncharted territory. It’ll be fun to watch, that’s for sure.

        I predict it’ll be like the Twitter debacle at the end of lady year. It’ll lead to a big migration to the fediverse but many will cling onto the platform as it circles the drain. Maybe Reddit and/or Twitter will manage to pull a GameStop or maybe they’ll crash and burn like RadioShack
