Great! There's a picket line I won't be crossing. Not just for those subs, of course, but for all of Reddit.

The reason Reddit is valuable is not the few execs making these (IMHO terrible) decisions. It's the thousands of mods and the millions of people creating and organizing the content that I go there to read. Until those people are happy with things, I'm not going back.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Correct. OP jumped the gun on this post.

looks like its a website monitoring the subreddit statuses with a handful of them having already gone private

Ah, my mistake. I wasn't aware some subreddits had already started, thought it was supposed to start tomorrow.

The fun has begun ;)

Correct. OP jumped the gun on this post.

Just the title. The page itself acknowledges that the strike is scheduled to start tomorrow:

“These subreddits are going dark or read-only on June 12th and after. ”

662/5279 = 0.12540253836 looks too tiny tbh.

The subreddits didn't organize around a single point in time across all timezones. It's generally the 12th and 13th, but it's not yet the 12th everywhere. Give it a couple of hours. In the last 8 minutes alone 14 new subs went private.
