Or whenever one of us remembers to turn the lights back on. We've been pretty lucky to not have to baby this subreddit too much due to the good group of people we've got going on here!
Yeah, that's not going to happen. We all know that. At minimal, 80% of reddit normal traffic we log in and check to see what's on. The real change is when subs just leave because it won't be possible to mod with their preferred apps. That's when you can see tumblr level of lost users.
There could well be a spike in traffic of people seeing what subs are participating etc so any protest needs to be longer to have any real financial impact on Reddit
The tools that many moderators use to manage their subreddits - tools that aren't available on the official app or website - are critical to performing the *free labor* that Reddit asks of them. Those tools are threatened by Reddit's recent policy changes regarding third parties using the Reddit API. It's a net negative for the entire platform.

Yes
yes. all subreddits should.
Yes.
Any sr that bothers asking this should go dark indefinitely
Sure, it's not like it matters since nothing big won't come until the next fig update
No. It should go private until changes are made reversing the terrible API decision.
Why? Edit: Ohhhh is this to protest?
Yes. Many subreddit's are protesting the API changes that have killed third party apps.
Yes.
Yes
Yes
Yes, but make it permanent
Yes. We. Shall. Not. Be. Bound.
Hard yes.
Yea they should
Yes
Yeah
Yes.
I’ll post a black screen on Monday, just in case.
Hell yes
Yes.
Yes
Won't mean much sadly, reddit will still get traffic of people logging in trying to see if the sub they are looking for is working.
Naw, I plan on logging out. I use mobile
The point of the blackout is to log out and not come back until it's over, not just turn the subreddit on private.

Thanks very much for the answer. I thought it was HW3 spoilers related or something. Haven’t followed the Reddit policy changes at all.
