Fuck spez... But where is Alexis on all of this? Does he comment, or just cashes the checks now?
After reading the comments, Reddit admin stuff always sounded like it was a shitshow of controvertial, troubled or outright evil people.

Fuck Spez
That's a painfully sad deletion. Aaron fought the good fight. It makes me sad how he came to an end.
I mean this is somewhat accurate
Swartz founded Infogami, which merged with reddit when they were both early stage incubator startups. In a sense, he became a founder of Not A Bug (which became the parent company of both Infogami and Reddit), but Reddit the subsidiary and project and website predates his involvement. And Reddit, the project, was a big reason why Not A Bug was acquired by Conde Nast in 2006.
He provided big early contributions (migrating the code base from lisp to python was a significant project), but wasn't really a founder, and didn't really contribute much after that first year.
No credits to Aaron? Shame for them!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
