content: Aaron Swartz is not the "creator of Reddit". Reddit never had any connection to his activism, even before he was fired 12.5 years ago. The point of RSS was pretty much the opposite of Reddit: to have the users host their own content and run their own apps. On Aaron Swartz in general: Even the best-intentioned leftists always end up doing more harm than good.  Their instinct is to always empower the government.
