    I certainly don’t recommend following the link to his obituary from the article and reading the entries in the traitor’s tribute book.

    Example of some of those entries:

    Edit: Somebody noticed.

    Since they took the page down...

        Yep, see the edit from 13 hours ago (and 30 minutes after I commented initially in this thread). That’s why the spoiler at the bottom has a handful of screenshots showing what used to be there.

            Ended up answering my own question once I remembered the button that sent me to the lemmy.zip version of the thread, seems like that instance is failing to fetch the updates rather than this being a browser/app issue. That’s also why I’m double-replying to this comment rather than editing my other one here. Might be worth a message to the .zip instance admin(s) in case something’s busted, just going to check around first and see if it’s a known issue.

            Interesting, are you using a web browser or one of the apps?
