Steve Huffman is pissing all over Aaron Schwartz's grave, and completely abandoning the ideals that was once a foundation of Reddit. Reddit was originally open source, Aaron died in 2013, and by 2017, Reddit had abandoned the open source / community philosophy entirely.

Never forget Aaron Schwartz.

As a computer nerd I never knew about a lot of what this wiki article described, and I'm something of a news junkie to boot. It was a great read.

From the wiki article...

Swartz wrote in his Guerilla Open Access Manifesto:[47]

The world's entire scientific ... heritage ... is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations....

And interesting quote, in light of the current situation going on at Reddit right now.

I remember when Ellen Pao was the nightmare and spez wasn't yet perceived as the fuck he actually is. Different times, I guess the devil you know is better sometimes. Otherwise you get spez, fuck spez.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What she did was OK IMO. Banning revenge porn is absolutely necessary. Probably a legal requirement in almost all countries. The rage against Pau seemed to be from extremists who wanted reddit to allow discrimination, bigotry, racism, and everything in that vein.

The resulting uncensored Voat fork of reddit, was a completely useless cesspool.

I've seen a Lemmy server (feddit.dk) require posts and comments to be legal (probably for the country of the server). Which in my opinion is obvious. It should be a minimum conduct requirement for a social network anyway.

I have to believe Aaron would be leading the charge to Lemmy if he were still alive today.

Intellectual property law is such a farce. It's wild that he was on the hook for THAT hefty of a prison sentence just because he downloaded academic articles which should on principle automatically be in the public domain.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely, the way he was treated was criminal IMO. It's horrendous that such practically illegal law enforcement isn't held accountable. They twisted everything against him, and ignored all his rights completely. Secret service behaved like mobsters, and their accusations were complete bogus.

I'm so happy I live in a country where the law and enforcement is much more sensible. IP law is still important, but they won't destroy you for breaking it.

This is the main reason I haven't been back to reddit since this shit began. All of this goes against the original ethos of Reddit that made me join and is a disrespect to all of the people who made reddit what it is. It disrespects the users, the volunteer moderators, the app developers, and the old employees. Most especially, though, it disrespects Aaron and, if I'm not mistaken, Alexis.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Alexis is no stranger to disruptive unpopular decisions either:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Ohanian#Victoria_Taylor_firing

He did fight for open internet back in 2010, but it seems he is mostly a finance/corporate guy now, seems he is a bit of a mixed bag.
