A true martyr.
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:

As a very out of touch dude. Who is this again? I recognize that face and I recall being genuinely sad about his death but that’s it
Founder of Reddit and one of the developers of the RSS standard.
Huge Free speach advocate and very against intellectual “property”. He wanted knowledge to be free and accessible for everyone and killed himself after he was accused of things that could’ve brought him to prison for a very long time. He probably did these things which are kinda similar to things Sci-Hub does nowadays.

You got some good answers already but I just wanted to add…
The DOJ overcharged the hell out of him. Non violent, first time offender looking at decades? They were putting the screws on him in the hopes he’d plea, again to an unreasonable amount of time. Feels unethical to me.
I’ve fought admins tougher than you
The world needs him more than ever today. RIP 😢
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 …

Gone far too soon. What happened to him was an absolute tragedy.
