Reddit already looks different for me (sh.itjust.works)

It’s not even June 12 for me, yet I suspect many subreddits went dark based on UTC.

I moved to Reddit during the Digg migration. Thus, I got the default subscriptions from back in the day. Over the years, I’ve unsubscribed to things I felt were crap, and I’ve added a number of subreddits.

Already, many have gone dark. My old.Reddit.com homepage already looks much different than normal, and I know that a few subreddits that do show have announced they’ll go dark. I assume they are US based and timing that locally.

I’ve spent more time in the Lemmy fediverse than on Reddit since joining, but I’ve spent time on both.

I’ll admit to cynical skepticism of the impact of the darkening. I still don’t think it will make a difference in Reddit policy, but I now believe it will have a larger impact on Reddit traffic than I imagined.

I still expect it to have no change in Reddit attitude or really in Reddit users.

I just deleted both my reddit accounts but overwrote years worth of comments and posts first

Well, even the digg is still around so people must use that too even though it looked quite horrible when i took a peek out of curiosity. I doubt reddit will crumble completely but it probably wont recover (assuming they make complete turnaround).

They finally broke the camel's back

It's June 12 here (Asia region) and interestingly, the only subs appearing on my feed are some of my favorite "deranged users" subs.
