Aaron Swartz? The dead (by suicide) activist and philanthropist software developer and Reddit co-founder Aaron Swartz?
Yes that's right, you see, Aaron Swartz was a "free speech absolutist" who allowed for things like /r/creepshots and allowed for cp on early reddit. https://archive.is/d4NPt
That's enlightening indeed. Knowing the both of them are trash does explain many, many things about Reddit.
Yup it sure does.
