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.
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.
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.
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.

That’s not how that works. Famously McDonald’s and Tesla for example.
Musk isn’t a founder of Tesla

Sure buddy
Lol am I wrong?
It’s a definition thing.

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-
https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/1octb/reddit_cofounder_aaron_swartz_discusses_how_he/c1oewi/
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.
