[CORRECTION] 7742 went dark out of the 8299 that committed. Interesting to note: 204 of the top 250 subreddits are dark (src: save3rdpartyapps.com).

An open source website to watch subreddits going dark

As of 12:56pm GMT (7:56am central time), 7742/8299 subreddits are no longer public

The information I initially posted is misleading. Thus, I have edited the title and this content area to report accurate numbers.

As @roofuskit mentioned, the 8299 number is the amount of subreddits that committed to going dark, not the total number of subreddits, which is over 3,000,000.

And as @8thiest was keen to observe, 204 of the top 250 are dark, as you can see from this site: https://save3rdpartyapps.com/

    Horribly misleading title. The second number is not the total number of subreddits, that’s the total number that had committed to going dark.

      underrated comment! 7742 of some 3 million subs. big ones, yes, thank god, but not that many altogether.

      and on top of this, it’s not the users, it’s the mods that took action. I’d assume reddit will make sure that this won’t ever be possible to do again.
