Rest in peace, my dear brother Aaron. You will never be forgotten.
A true martyr.
Rip da homey. :'(
real G
Sure I know that he was coerced into it, but I don’t feel comfortable calling someone who offed himself “brave”
Where do you see the word brave?
Not so fun fact: When Aaron joined the reddit team, the other founders agreed Aaron deserved the title of founder too.
A couple years after that, Spez openly bitched in a thread that Aaron shouldn’t be calling himself a founder. Aaron responded saying that it was part of the original deal but if Spez, or the other guy, wanted Aaron to stop saying he’s a founder then the two just needed to ask. They never did. Aaron died.
Reddit proceeds to grow. Site changes. Site gets a founders page. Aaron is listed alongside Steve and Alexis.
A couple years ago when Steve took over as CEO and started to abuse his admin powers to edit OTHER people’s comments, he also removed Aaron from the founders list for no reason and with no warning. When people noticed, he hid the page. It’s hard to find now but if you do? Aaron’s name is nowhere to be seen.
Jesus, Spez really is just a total shit bag. Always has been too. Fuck that guy
Yep. A couple years ago there was news that someone working at reddit was a pedophile sympathizer. Turns out an employee lived with her father. Said father was a known pedophile. She defended him, and pedophilia, in the past. People were enraged. Reddit took a very long time to fire her despite the fact that it triggered a reddit wide protest.
Spez hired her directly and didn’t want to fire her.
Then there’s the fact that Spez was a mod of the jailbait pedo subreddit. Now… At that time you could add anyone to the sub mod team and it would auto accept the invitation. That was the line going around saying why Spez was on the mod list. However given the fact he’s praising Elon Musk, a known pedophile sympathizer with ties to Epstein, and refused to fire a pedophile sympathizer he hired?
Doesn’t make Steve Huffman look like anything other than someone who’s hiding one very dark secret.
The world needs him more than ever today. RIP 😢
Honestly fuck Steve or Skete or Spez or whatever his fucking name is (I know it’s Steve, just venting), the guys’s a tool. What baffles me is how users of deceased third party apps (RIP Apollo) can continue using the site and supporting it after it’s been publicly made what a liar he is.
I think Aaron would have given Steve the finger and walked too.
Everytime i watch the documentary about Aaron, it makes me rrally sad.
Which docu?
The Internet’s Own Boy. Highly recommend it, someone else posted a comment with a link to watch it:
The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
Rest in Peace Aaron.

we need to set an instance/community in his name that documents all the greed aspects of internet companies and the sustainable and user friendly alternatives to fight those: like firefox is to Chrome, invidious, odysee, the fediverse, vpns, alternatives to isps (?) , i2p and p2p, Libgen, Anna’s archive …
I’ve fought admins tougher than you
