I think subs will go dark longer than 48 hours, or at least I hope so.

I'm sure that lots of moderators want to protest until third party apps are saved, but at the same time they like too much their subreddit's community to risk it to be banned/to risk their place as mods.

I agree. Everything I have seen so far has been pretty generous and has left some part of the bridge intact. But there's a very good chance many subs will stay dark when nothing changes.
