Everyone is going to say how this is preaching to the choir. But I think it's good if it goes black so the largest news media has even more of a story. It's one thing if just Reddit goes black, that will be a big news story. But it's another thing if many sites on the internet go black.
Come to think of it, I may do this with my website as well. It's no hacker news or Reddit, but it's a good day to do it.
- trotsky 15y agoreddit is down all day multiple times a year and it's never a "big news story"
- Samuel_Michon 15y agoAccording to that logic, it wouldn't matter either if Twitter, Google Apps, Blackberry Messenger, iCloud+Siri, and Dropbox were to shut down for the day...
- trotsky 15y agoKind of a bad comparison - BBM messenger being down WAS a big news story, twitter & google apps aren't down all day multiple times a year and while I'm not sure about the reliability of siri or dropbox I'm pretty sure neither of them being offline would be a "huge news story", unless your idea of a huge news story is one that's covered by betabeat
