I feel as though Aaron Swartz would support this migration.

I'm not 100% convinced yet but lemmy.world is the best instance I've seen, combined with the .old styling edition.

If he couldn't control Reddit, and he was still around to see it turn into what it is today, he would've left years ago and started Reddit 2.0

Holy shit this literally killed place

I heard reddit was down for a bit but didn't check since the event was over.

Wait Reddit went down?

For once in my life, I’m sad I missed that.

Lol I'm watching a live stream of it. The huge FUCK SPEZ! is still visible as everything is going white lol

Glad to be a part of it

I'd have been part of it but I deleted my account at the start of the month lol

So the original plan for was it to go grayscale at the end? If so, I guess they changed it to a white out after the huge spez sign showed up.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

The color palette actually changed to grayscale and shortly after, it was only white. So people could have whitened out the entire Fuck Spez message and not recovery it, but since everybody had the singular goal of getting the message out, it stayed.
