def have to agree on this one, reddit is selective about what toxicity they allow and which ones they do not. it’s become the platform of hypocrisy. way too toxic than what it use to be, aaron swartz (co-founder of reddit who died in a us federal prison) would be crying in his grave

Aaron Swartz did not die in prison. He committed suicide. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz
Thank you for clarifying this. I remember it like it was yesterday. Big tragedy. People forget and move on, sadly. A lot of people were upset though and still are. This has to be something to "never forget". It has to.
If he didn't die, are you saying he's still alive?
He died in his apartment.
