People give him too much credit for reddit. He was literally not involved in reddit, he created no code for reddit, nor did he do any marketing or otherwise for reddit.

Sadly, even being an expert in English doesn't automatically remove your accent, and we're all aware most accents get unjust hate/racism. I've met a huge number of insanely good content creators who cannot voice their own content/cannot afford to have a professional voice actor for their channel because they are not native english speakers, so they have to resort to cheap AI voice overs. The script, editing, content, and everything else can be done by literally anyone in this planet, except voice overs. Even some native English speakers have difficulty narrating.

The huge influx of users to Reddit happened after Digg changed the design of their site which was largely thought of as impossible to navigate.

I love how there's so much support in the Reddit communities. I had to hang some sun sails in a large equestrian area because the area is used for "equestrian therapy" for a teen rehabilitation program. I was able to find a sub-Reddit community that helped give me some great ideas. And being able to interact with fellow geeks about the MCU, NFL, soccer, etc is awesome.

[@Gumbo_Calm]

Ahh, you mean r/equestriansunsailhangers

[@someguy2135]

I can confirm from my experience. The r/foreskin_restoration sub has been amazingly supportive and helpful for new members. I also appreciate the fact that Reddit allows users to cite evidence, unlike KZbin which is so choked by algorithms for the comment section that I have pretty much decided to stop wasting my time here and focus exclusively on contributing to Reddit. Without being able to easily cite evidence, discussions and debates here seem almost completely limited to giving opinions. My only complaint with Reddit is that some subs are run by arbitrary mods who want to stop contributions from those who disagree with them by permanently banning them.

[@harrydavey9884]

I tried Reddit on 3 occasions and was met with nothing but toxic elitist assholes who clearly spend their entire lives on that website and desperately want to gate keep their nasty little community, whilst also complaining that their "community" is dying. Just as an anecdote I went on r/Magic and watched a few magic tricks. The first one I commented something along the lines of "Hey, that was good, but your sleight of hand needs some work as it's really clear when you're palming the card" the admin banned me immediately and sent me a message calling me a malignant narcissist 😂

[@OoMikkioO]

watching this I'm amazed that it used to be a platform to speak freely on. Whenever I go on reddit it seems like every sub has rules upon rules and you have to be careful not to post something you're not allowed to post (i.e. if someone has posted it before, even ten years ago, don't you dare ask again). Which made me never want to join reddit as an active user. I go there if I have nowhere else to go to get answers but I usually won't get my answer there either lol

[@sampadization]

I joined reddit in its haydays.. early 2010s.. It used to be a place where actual information was available. It still does.. Albeit the meme, and political stuff has slowly overpowered the value aspect of it. Now you gotta really search deep to find a sub thats truly useful. I can imagine it to be pretty overwhelming for new users now.

[@ancogaming]

Reddit is just like any other forum on the Internet, even more so when it comes to its mods and dwellers of any given sub. If you are in need of answers or information, don't post a question. Post a statement with a wrong/made-up answer and watch the nerds fall over themselves, racing to correct you, spilling out all the information you'll ever need in the process. They're all bickering smart-asses who love to talk down to others as the only thing they have ever achieved in their sorry lives. Use that to your advantage. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility.

[@deadpool7825]

Same with Barnaby Jack, one of the most brilliant hackers of his era. Dude could "jackpot" ATMs and take all the cash, and figured out how to remotely hack certain models of pacemaker and insulin pump to cause them to malfunction and potentially *kill* the user. He never used this knowledge for evil though, and instead was a computer security expert. He was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in 2013.

[@TheMindCrafter]

Very glad that Aaron swatz got the recognition that he needs with your 1.24m subscribers!

[@Zidbits]

recognition for what though? If anyone actually does real research, they will see Aaron wasn't part of reddit. He was working on his own thing and his project was merged into another. He had no interest in that other project (reddit) and quit shortly after. People are treating him like some martyr when he didn't just have nothing to do with reddit, he hated reddit because it meant the end of his own project.

This dude and is content is actually impressive and you can see the time put in to perfect his craft each and every day

[@agranero6]

Aaron didn't break into MIT (technically he did), they had an agreement with Elsevier (by a hefty price paid by MIT): it was free for students and staff, but the nasty part is that a lot, a lot of articles created by people in Universities were public funded but behind a paywall: Elsevier was shadowy being subsided by taxpayers dollars. Aaron already had done that with PACER where court records that are public by law (with exception determined the judge) but were behind a paywall (free...but not free, public but not public). FBI tried to make Aaron an example using the same old scare tactics, but this backfired: many consider FBI, Elsevier, JSTOR and MIT directly responsible for Aaron's suicide. The silver lining as feeble as it is, is the Aaron Swartz law that FORCES any research made with public funding to be available without any fee. But the damage was irreversible, we lost an innocent person, innocent in the sense that he believed he could made a difference, a fresh naiveté that I lost 4four of five decades ago. He made a difference, but soon new SOPAs, PIPAs, Patriotic Acts, secret tribunals, will undo all that. We walk, no... we run blindfolded with roller skates near a precipice to a fascist police state all over the world that would made Pol Pot and all Kim dynasty proud. I for my part am proud of Aaron and a deep grief enters my heart when I remember him.
