Jack said twitter should have never been a company but thats even more true for reddit who's whole businesses model is based on unpaid volunteers lemmy is what reddit should have always been community owned and community supported and open source

    I didn't know it was open source until 2018. According to the article, they needed to go close-sourced due to the video player (lol)

    ... But you can find the original source code at: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0

    I really wonder if this is the code for https://old.reddit.com
