Fuck /u/spez
Well, see, Aaron Swartz isn’t a billionaire, so he doesn’t matter.
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 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.
Banning speech and calling everyone fascist doesn’t help anyone though.
i don’t call ‘everyone’ a fascist. only fascists. maybe it doesn’t help. but what has the “let’s let the fascists speak their racist bigoted pedophile minds” approach done for the whole country?
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.
Ah, someone who doesn’t understand Free Speech.
You’re free to say whatever you want, and we’re free to tell bigots to fuck off, because we’re not required to listen to your bullshit.
Private websites are not required to host your hatred, that’s compelled speech, and is a violation of the First Amendment. Not that conservatives have ever cared about other people’s rights.
this person is also ignoring the fact that the GOP has been fighting tooth and nail for decades to ban speech in libraries, public schools, and government properties, while at the same time trying (and succeeding in way too many cases) to force jesus narrative in those same locations.
I can tell you that the side that wants to ban speech
correct me if i’m wrong, but i can only guess you’re talking about racist, derogatory, misogynistic, homophobic, or otherwise legitimately harmful “no-no” words that you’re butthurt about being banned for.
go ahead–call me every slur you can think of. “in order for me to be offended, i first have to give a fuck what you think”
i don’t
Snollygoster
gasp well i NEVER
what word is it you want to say? don’t be shy now
lol at the redacted usernames, like it’s a secret or something
Our they’re in the Epstein files.

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.
Where does he live?

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?
This exchange is hilarious.

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.

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.
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?
That’s from Google…
