That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
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.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
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.
So the comment above you is wrong
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.
That's not how that works. Famously McDonald's and Tesla for example.
Musk isn't a founder of Tesla
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.
Sure buddy
Lol am I wrong?
fuck u/spez
Fuck Spez
Steve Huffman... Isn't he that greedy little pig boy?
awww come on. pigs are smart intelligent beings. Quite the opposite of spez.
Fuck reddit
huffman cant stop smelling MUSKs faerts, ohanian sold out for something else.
smelling
"huffing" was right there, man
Justice for Aaron Swartz
Aaron was by far the best of them all. That documentary moved me to tears...
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.
Could you post the URL this is from and not just a screenshot?
Dude that's FUCKED up.
Fuck Spez.
Murdered by Carmen Ortiz.
