Looks like someone threw up a tracker checking on subreddit going dark. Live status looks interesting.

Edit: I’ve been watching this for a while now, can’t take my eyes off it. Looks like the next big block of subs is each hour mark with big one at mid-night PST (e.g., California). Gonna be fun 🤡

    I kind of love the selection of subreddits that are still available:
    /r/amitheasshole, /r/mildlyinfuriating, /r/therewasanattempt, /r/whatcouldgowrong, /r/publicfreakout, /r/quityourbullshit, among others

    It paints such a lovely picture of the current situation! :D

    The fact that I’m enjoying this discussion means that I’m still addicted to something Reddit-like. I hope this or some other alternative really takes off in the next few days, otherwise I think many people will just reluctantly return to Reddit

      I’ve seen a lot of growth here, despite the ddos protection causing issue with syncing to other instances. So my migration plan will be to use kbin for all I can, especially discussions / being an active user, while using Reddit for topics that I don’t see have a good replacement yet (while checking frequently if that changes). The goal being to pull out of more and more subs on Reddit until I can just leave the entire thing behind. Maybe there will be the odd sub that will be lost / left behind, but that would be a minor price at the end of the day.

    I hope kbin stops being a reddit monitoring site. Half my page is full of posts about reddit on non-related subs, and I don’t care about that platform anymore.
