Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms.

According to Reddit, the blackout was responsible for the problems. “A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge. The company said the outage was fully resolved at 1:28PM ET.

Can that be right? 93% of subreddits have gone dark?

And 7% of subreddits are scabs?!

If you click through to some of the ones that indicate still public you can see they have gone into read-only mode rather than completely private.

That's not 93% of all subreddits; just 93% of those that committed to going dark.
