Some of us take it to our hearts to remember one of the most influential hacktivists <3

For that matter, I'd like to share a documentary about him: https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz

You can also get to know his legacy by reading the short Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto, available here: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL25421460M/Guerilla_Open_Access_Manifesto

He'd be turning in his grave if he knew what Reddit turned into

If only lemmy was there this is more of what he envisioned for Reddit.

He'd probably have enabled ActivityPub on Reddit, had it been around.

I don't think it is, at least not the current iteration, but he would definitely have helped evolve its successor.
