CW: suicide, uspol
#AaronSwartz, brilliant 26-year-old Internet activist, co-creator of #Reddit and co-writer of the #RSS specification, committed #suicide twelve years ago yesterday.
In 2008 he helped defeat paywalled #PublicDomain case law; in 2012 #SOPA/ #PIPA; but after enduring 18 months of federal persecution for liberating public-domain articles from #JSTOR, he ended his own life.
If you feel hopeless, call 988.
If you supported bullying Aaron, may you burn in hell.

Just learned the #Constellate platform put together by Ithaka and #JSTOR for #TextMining is being sunsetted next year.
Apparently, #HathiTrust will also discontinue support of the HathiTrust Research Centre (its text mining platform).
I hope some of the data download features Constellate allowed (even for non-members) will continue... they're useful and important!
