I don't see myself going back to Reddit if they keep those subs closed down. However I do believe that if this "strike" goes on for longer than a week or so, the admins will forcefully replace each closed subreddit mods to make them live again.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
I hope that if that actually happens they'll find no volunteers to actually mod those subs and realize they'll actually have to hire and pay the people that actually makes their site usable
Sadly there's always going to be people that will do this just for the feeling of insignificant power they get from moderating a subreddit
Probably won’t matter much when critical mod tools suddenly stop working.
The same powermods that teed up his prepared answers...
Probably yes. That will make quality tank badly.
"6236/7265 subreddits are currently dark."
85.83%
That's a pretty good response from the subs.
I'm hoping that a great deal of mods out there will continue to stay dark if nothing changes. And I expect nothing from Reddit's admin team to change. Just let the site devalue for the rest of the month to bots posting the same garbage over and over.

I wish someone or a dev could make this list in these website and propose lemmy/kbin equivalents for us the redditors to join instead. On the other hands mods of those subreddits if they want they can make a community over these platforms.
Just flipped the switch (so to speak) on a couple subs I moderate, and the largest (just shy of 1m users) will be going dark in a few hours.
What surprised me most is how well the members are took it. To be fair the subs I moderated are typically quite tech-minded, so everyone is quite in-the-know with what is happening and why.
It makes me furious that a site built and maintained by the users is being exploited at the users' expense.
I hope Reddit bleeds money from this silly line they drew in the sand.

My Reddit frontpage only contains a few minor subs still which are probably without an active moderator and some „going dark“ announcements. Very noticeable.

Is blackout.photon-reddit.com down?
Time to sit back, relax, and watch ~~the world~~ Reddit burn 😎 🍿
Nice to see the subreddits listed by subs. Reddit can't ignore this... interested to see how they respond. I'm sure it will be some half baked knee jerk reaction that will get the community even more against them.

"The website is temporarily down." ironic lol
Unfortunately websites can't really go private :P
Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!
Check for r/argentina, could not find it but it will be dark temporarily, maybe it's because of that. Great site!
Thanks for sharing!
Also a good opportunity to back it up everyone with just not visiting their site. I've added 127.0.0.1 reddit.com old.reddit.com www.reddit.com mod.reddit.com i.reddit.com to my hosts file so I don't accidentally follow a link to Reddit (I think they have a lot more subdomains, so the hosts file based approach isn't perfect, but hopefully good enough for a quick solution).
i.redd.it and v.redd.it might make sense as well. There is a bunch of subdomains and other domains (…oauth.reddit.com, …redditmedia.com, …), but they are only used if you connect the the main sites (i. e., not hot-linked), so blocking those will be sufficient to block all reddit-traffic.
I don’t know about you, but streaming the “Darkening” is like the best thing ever. Just reading all the comments as viewers cheer on each subreddit.
When r/trees wend private I was thinking “shit just got real.”
Anyway, I suggest watching the stream, if just for the cameraderie.
