It'd be even better if all these subreddits indefinitely go dark. As someone who grew up using the "old" internet with Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists for discussions, I am happy that decentralized way doing things might be adopted again.

I mean... The plan to go dark was originally to protest the API pricing and policy changes. And as far as I understood, they're all going dark until Reddit backtracks those announcements

Initially at least, the subs I saw were talking of going dark only for a couple of days, with only a few stating that they will go dark indefinitely. If everyone is on board now for indefinite darkness then that's great!
