MODERATORS
The site has been overloaded, so now they are streaming it on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247
I don't see myself going back to Reddit if they keep those subs closed down. However I do believe that if this "strike" goes on for longer than a week or so, the admins will forcefully replace each closed subreddit mods to make them live again.
I hope that if that actually happens they'll find no volunteers to actually mod those subs and realize they'll actually have to hire and pay the people that actually makes their site usable
Sadly there's always going to be people that will do this just for the feeling of insignificant power they get from moderating a subreddit
The same powermods that teed up his prepared answers...

I do hope the ones going dark migrate here and start over.
There's a handful of NSFW, but I'm surprised their isn't more since they are getting hit harder than anyone else.
Wait until tomorrow, I guess.
Is there a way to see what subs re dark out of the actual total? This looks like it is what % are dark compared to what % are restricted?
In other words I confused what the n is on all of these

Choose 'percent' on the third card on the left.
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...
If you go to the site and view by new it's just page after page of /r/askreddit. Tons of people posting to it with nowhere else to post. So that would explain some of the rebound but the graph is still odd that it rebounded to exactly where it should be if there was no blackout.

Nice to see the subreddits listed by subs. Reddit can't ignore this... interested to see how they respond. I'm sure it will be some half baked knee jerk reaction that will get the community even more against them.
I'm not entirely sure. Seems like there will be plenty of inertia from the subreddits remaining open. I'd imagine that eventually Reddit will force them open again.
But they aren't going to be getting those moderators back on the site without some sort of change. It'll be really interesting to see how much of an impact that has.
I fell like throwing out the mods might just be that reaction. Anyway if anything, I might only share Lemmy content on Reddit in the future.

Also a good opportunity to back it up everyone with just not visiting their site. I've added 127.0.0.1 reddit.com old.reddit.com www.reddit.com mod.reddit.com i.reddit.com to my hosts file so I don't accidentally follow a link to Reddit (I think they have a lot more subdomains, so the hosts file based approach isn't perfect, but hopefully good enough for a quick solution).
i.redd.it and v.redd.it might make sense as well. There is a bunch of subdomains and other domains (…oauth.reddit.com, …redditmedia.com, …), but they are only used if you connect the the main sites (i. e., not hot-linked), so blocking those will be sufficient to block all reddit-traffic.
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.
This is great. Some big ones are already dark.
update for 2nd day of the blackout
I will be paying attention to this the following couple days. I wonder how they are going to tell investor, lol.

I’m watching the lights go out in real time here with this site, it’s really cool to see!
This has been super interesting. I’ve never seen communities listed in this manner. I’d be interested in this kind of sort for other services as well.
Really hoping to see major players go dark soon and wishing they would stay that way, like r/videos plans to. Oh, what the world would be like if corporations actually cared about the people they profit from.
Reddit itself seems to be completely down for me. I wonder if this is drawing a lot of attention and just overloading them, or tinfoil hat, they’re shutting off the servers to hide all the blackouts…
My partner had the same issue this morning
It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?
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)
