    Sucks that the best dev they had killed himself over issues of censorship and this is how they want to handle it.

      We should make a point of memorializing Aaron Swartz on Lemmy. Make an official Aaron Swartz memorial day, make an award that people could be nominated for, whatever people could agree on.

      Point is, it would bring positive attention to Lemmy and negative attention to Reddit continually if we go out of our way to mention him as much as possible. Associating ourselves as a brand with Aaron would be a clever business decision and also an apt tribute to his memory, because I do believe that this platform is closer to his original vision of reddit.
