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.

Curious about the subs that have reverted to public already... r/stocks just now & saw a few revert last night.

r/stocks is private at the moment, so maybe just an issue with the data collection.

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

It must track only the ones that are private. It doesn't show Explain Like I'm Five as green. They said they would leave a stickied post that is informative about the protest and block all new submissions.

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.

This tool doesnt, but the one linked in the second edit does

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