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

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

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.

You know it's crazy when they go the extra mile to get the fucking exclamation point

Don't worry, they're done with this for now, but in desperation will probably add the "click the button" thing back.

That being said, the white thing is a better idea.. It makes it boring and useless.. Nobody is going to look back at that
