@turkishdelight @CaptainSpaceman Yeah not sure if I'm using this term wrong but is this some kind of "datacenter protectionism"?

@guts @catculation He was just in the wrong place. A free speech idealist. You can tell Reddit's other cofounder was never anything like him, and now he's just monstrous. I'd make a limited comparison from Aaron to "Hotwheels", a guy who keeps making imageboards for his free speech ideology, even though he's a communist his sites are mostly used by reactionaries. Similar to Lemmy, actually. A lot of people who use this software despise the ideology of Lemmy's main dev.
@guts @catculation He was facing federal charges for taking papers and other documents from JSTOR and posting them online for download by using MIT computers. They were really about to hit him with the book. I would look into the details of the case because there is some speculation his suicide was suspicious, but then again his GF said he was depressed and she resented the rumors. That being said, she could have been distraught and wanted closure, or just wrong. A tragedy.
