That's out of the 8838 that made a pledge to go dark. Those ~400 are just the ones that went "restricted" (read-only) instead of private, or flaked on the pledge.
There are over a million subreddits, the blackout doesn't even reach one percent of them.
- Ataraxic 3y agoAnyone can make a subreddit if it's not been taken but you're right in that the real impact is by # of users affected. I think if what I read is true that ~ 1/2 of the top subreddits went dark that is a big outage. FWIW my reddit is not really usable except for 1 sub that I read.
- norgie 3y agoYour denominator is pretty much useless in terms of measuring user impact since subreddit subscriber size is not evenly distributed.
- graeme 3y agoIt's about 70% of the largest subreddits: https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/
- meepmorp 3y agoThere are plenty still open, but many of those million are dead anyway. I've made half dozen and abandoned them all.
