Saidit is just one way Aaron's vision lives on, as we literally use the very code he wrote for reddit back in the day, in addition to the ideological similarities.

So you are started to coding...?

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I've done a lot of the coding for saidit already, maybe 30% or so. I used to do more at the start, but now I do more with helping the community as it's gotten bigger

I remember that someone said you can't code...Never mind...

He died curiously young, something tells me he was given the shoah

Woah I didn't know that this is irrefutable proof that incel tears are pedophiles

[–]LonelyHermit 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

What does that have anything to do with Incel tears?

"Suicided"?

privatization of knowledge

software patents

He'd be rolling in his grave if he knew what Reddit was doing to censor knowledge.

The great genius of Aaron is that he totally saw this coming, and that's why he made the code for reddit open source, and why he made it so accessible for others. So when reddit inevitably failed, sites like saidit could come along and pick up where old reddit left off. The guy was really looking ahead.

Fucking awesome. I'm looking forward to watching Reddit die like Myspace, and seeing the replacements, like Saidit, come fill the void.

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Us too. To carry on the tradition, we made the saidit open source easy for others to use and set up their own similar reddit-like sites but with all the fixes and upgrades we've done over the last couple of years: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

Awesome. I appreciate the efforts you guys put it. Cheers!

With age, a little short sighted. People see what they want to believe.

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yes he was a bit idealistic in some aspects, but he was also just out of college (or still in it) when he made this remark

[–]HeyImSancho 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I think he went to a different school than I did, mine was accredited via The School of Hard Knocks, lol

Anyway, I think this is not voluntary suicide, maybe I should create a term " involuntary suicide"....

If I were him, I would not plead guilty in the court until die, this is the best way to interrogate about "justice" of this nation. Keep to the interrogation and appeal period as long as possible.

This is most of academic institutions want to see, that's why he involuntary suicided. He died in the best timing.
