This is a cool website for tracking the blackout as it happens.

I made a conscious decision to stop using reddit yesterday. I’ll delete my account next weekend.

I was wasting a lot of time endlessly scrolling through AITA and similar subreddits. Going to make sure I selectively subscribe to lemmy communities and treat it like a news aggregator.

I wonder how many others have been trying to break that reddit addiction and just needed a reason, and an alternative that isn't so bad.

So...Lemmy can be my vaping

I was wondering how we would fare as our Monday is now. Glad the subs are dark. Screw companies. Getting screwed on every single front.

At 23:55 12 June NZST, 6552/7265 subreddits are currently dark. That’s 90.2% dark.

Great wee website. I thought it wasn't working, but it was indexing or refreshing ...lots!

Fortunately /r/CK is still around. If /r/NZ does something you can count on them to do the opposite.

Fits with their pointlessly contrarian attitude in general.

Daaaamn, that's a massive chunk of the site gone dark, and there's a few that won't be back. r/notjustbikes has pulled the plug once and for all, for example.
