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.

      Seems like it is private again, would not be surprised that there are a few were the mods were not all onboard of going private.

      I know some subreddits are just locking new submissions, not going private. Does this tool track that, or exclusively those that go private?

        I’m going to guess just private, because automatically assessing how a sub is being moderated would be very hard.

        This makes a lot of sense. I was curious about this too, but didn’t want to give reddit any traffic during the protest by checking out any of the subs to see what’s going on.
