Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.

There's something so therapeutic about having Reddark open in a tab in the background - every time I hear the ding, a little voice in my head cheers. Interesting times, folks.

Honestly, even a year ago I don't think I would have imagined this happening. I wasn't around for the Digg -> Reddit migration but I wonder if this feels a bit like that.

I went LiveJournal > Digg > Reddit, and there's definitely a similar energy to the Digg days - but the level of organization we're seeing here feels totally new. The other difference though, is that the Digg migration had direction. It felt like within a month we had all moved to Reddit. I don't see that happening here, so really this is uncharted territory. It'll be fun to watch, that's for sure.
