    Although Aaron was instrumental in reddit’s success, he wasn’t a founder. He became part of reddit after reddit merged with infogami after a year or so of reddit being founded. therefore not a founder.

    Reddit is a pro-American forum with hard censorship and extremist moderators. They cover that up with funny memes to look like fun. Until you think you can post something yourself.

        If we make a comparison between Aron’s situation vs Anna’s archive-Nvidia deal, we can conclude if you are not a millionare the justice is applied different.

    For those not in the know:

    Swartz’s involvement in Reddit is debated. He is considered the co-founder of Reddit by Y Combinator owner Paul Graham as a result of the merger of Swartz’s project Infogami and Reddit. With the merger of Infogami and Reddit, Swartz became a co-owner and director of parent company Not A Bug, Inc., along with Reddit cofounders Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. Ohanian considers Swartz a co-owner of Reddit.

      Aaron was instrumental in rewriting Reddit from spez’s half-baked lisp prototype to python. And that was before python hit it big. Kn0thing can’t code and neither could spez. Without Aaron, reddit would never have scaled.

      Sounds like a similar situation to Elon and Tesla, no?

        Arguably Elon and PayPal, since that was a merger, but not Tesla, which he bought his way into ex post facto.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
