Will be entertaining to see how long they try to keep it going. I've seen a few saying that they plan to keep dark as long as possible until admits cave. The alternative subs that pop up will probably ruin that. Lol
I expect that, if they actually stick with that (and don't roll over and take it as usual), the admins will just pick a couple of the bigger (non-compliant) subreddits to do a hostile takeover, and that'll scare the rest into capitulating.
I'm tempted to dig out my old reddit account and just hassle the mods by requesting to join all kinds of private subs :D
They probably have automod set to reject all requests.

I'm actually kind of salty about some of the IT subs going dark because it cuts off relevant research resources when troubleshooting technical issues.
