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.

There are two justice systems. Always has been. One for the elites and one for the rest of us.

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

what a coincidence, Huffman love kissing musk’s ass from time to time.

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.

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.

It’s a definition thing.
You are correct Aaron wasn’t instrumental in creating reddit (Which most would agree is a prerequisite to being considered a founder I presume.), his company got grafted to it and he was given a founder title.

Again, depends on how you define founder. In the real sense, he’s not. In the legal sense, he is. Per Aaron’s reddit account-
One of the points of the merger was that we would all call ourselves co-founders, so that’s what I’ve been doing. I’d be happy to stop if that’s what Steve and Alexis wanted, though.

sounds like a founder in all but name, so what if he came a year later, the intent to leave him out is clear considering they were willing to before.

Lol the definition of words don’t change just because a court said Musk is allowed to call himself that (after being sued by one of the actual founders). Not exactly a good look.

From Wikipedia
Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in June 2005, who were joined by Aaron Swartz that November.
I think it’s reasonable to say that if you weren’t there for the original ideation, you’re not a founder. Doesn’t mean Aaron wasn’t an amazing person.

He’s considered a founder by the founding member that isn’t an out and about nazi. So I think he counts as a founder.

What the fuck are you talking about
Calling everyone you disagree with “Nazi” debases what the Nazis actually did. You pollute discourse and distort the historical horrors and industrial genocide perpetuated by the fascist Nazi regime.

What else do you call an OPENLY fascist far-right White Supremacist eugenicist who personally believes and espoused the need for extermination camps for unwanted minorities?

im pretty sure he is a founder, he was even named by the other cof-ounders. he must be significant enough to have that title.
- 3 months
That’s not how it works. It’s building the company that counts. More pragmatically if existing cofounders said you’re a cofounder, then you are.

huffman cant stop smelling MUSKs faerts, ohanian sold out for something else.

Ship of Theseus argument: would Aaron recognize Reddit of today with all its…improvements…as the Reddit he knew? Those two founded something that has the name but not the soul.

What are these improvements you speak of? Pretty sure it’s been enshitified.

enshittification started when trump 1st term came about, every sub became more and infested with propaganda/politics.

With all the layers of abstraction that exist between humans and billionaires, this is the only reasonable take. Remind the billionaires we share a world, for now.

Besides the rule.against bringing this here, it’s also just dumb. It shows incredibly clearly that you’re 100% only talk. It’s just so incredibly cowardly to call for someone else to sacrifice.
