        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.

    Arron Schwartz is right there on the top of the page!

    Maybe they thought it would be disrespectful to use an avatar for a deceased person?

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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?

            What the fuck are you talking about? Provide sources or shut the fuck up. Also Marx smelled and never showered, hated Jews, and communism has never worked ever in the history of humanity.

            Your ideology is moronic and anti-human

      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.

    Aaron was based. Spez is a piece of shit and greedy little piggy and Alexis is a sellout.

    Reddit died around 2015 when it became AstroTurf central for the DNC. It violently swung the other way with the Donald before admins shut that down because orange man bad.

    For the record, fuck Donald Trump. He’s a monster. Banning speech and calling everyone fascist doesn’t help anyone though.

        I can tell you that the side that wants to ban speech and clutches their pearls when someone says a No-No word is responsible for putting this fucking idiot in office in the first place. People chose orange fascist rapist over your insufferable ass.

      Please be mature, don’t censor words ridiculously to say the same thing. There are no automatic censorship bots here; if an admin wants to censor the word “shoot,” you’re not going to stop them with that.

      Fun fact, while the head contains the brain, it also contains a lot of stuff that isn’t the brain.

      If a person were to place a gun against the side of their head and get the angle wrong, a bullet could completely miss the brain, while still causing massive damage.

      Such cases have been recorded hundreds of times, in quite a few cases, the person in question has remained conscious long enough to reposition and try again.
