aaronsw was not involved in the creation of reddit. When his company was acquired by reddit, he was granted a “cofounder” title as part of the deal.
while it’s a dick move to erase him, “you can’t change history” is a poor argument when the only reason he’s considered a cofounder in the first place is because history was changed.
Yeah, I got downvoted to -25 for pointing this out on a Lemmy recently. He was in early enough to be considered a cofounder, and did a ton of work on it before anyone had really heard of reddit (rewriting their lisp codebase to Python around 2006) but he wasn’t one of the two people who actually started it. So… the pic in this post is accurate, and it’s kind of funny how it says “not considered a cofounder!” and the pic literally has him listed as ‘founder’.
You can’t consider a cofounder to no longer be one. Unless you travel back in time to change history.

You can consider anyone to be anything. Consideration doesn’t have to be based in reality.
Musk considers himself a founder of Tesla.
Anything is possible if you’re a cunt.
When Musk bought “Tesla” it was two guys and an idea. It’s bigger now.
Or you just rewrite it. Control the past and you will control the future
