Reddit's largest subreddit, r/funny, has opened back up. (reddark.untone.uk)

Their post announcing it, has comments disabled. I have been going on reddit looking for polls to vote "yes" to continue to participate in the blackout. This was kind of a bummer.

Edit: Looking at the mods most recent post, they're still putting up a fight! And all new posts have 0 upvotes and I can't see comments from RiF anyway. Can anyone else see anything from other reddit apps?

Unfortunately the protest seems to basically be done. I think Mods should have had a plan to come back but to “quiet quit” and allow communities to go to shit to prove that what they do has value. Plus it would be much harder for Reddit to control that or identify where it’s being done.

Unfortunately it seems there was no real plan beyond the 2 day blackout, which should have been a starting point not a finish line.

According to Reddark this morning more than half of all subreddits are still dark, so I wouldn’t call the protest done. It’s still having a substantial impact.

To clarify, reddark is not showing all subreddits, just subreddits that committed to going dark. There's greater than 100k active subreddits.

Big subs like r/funny coming back online is a big deal though. Plus the general sentiment in the comments has seemingly shifted away from “fuck Reddit” to “fuck the mods” which is exactly what the admins want.

But all the people who actually provide good content and care about reddit being good have been alienated, so the people that are left in for a fun surprise. Hey, why isn't anybody posting good content anymore? But, but.... but... I'm entitled to good content... what do you mean I actually have to participate?
