Yep, that was him. He had an admin login to their prod database. Honestly wish that signing comments was supported in more forums/aggregators. I know I can do

  Huffman also seems to be the guy who edited a list of co-founders to remove Aaron Swarz. [0] He also said - after Swarz's death - that Swarz wasn't a co-founder. 'Unpersoned', I think is the correct term for such as this. So... I'm left wondering why anyone is listening to this guy. Especially on a subject where he has been caught lying and rewriting history multiple times. 0 - https://web.archive.org/web/20201005184849/https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/j4fsi1/reddit_rewrites_history_by_excluding_aaron_swartz/ https://web.archive.org/web/20201005184849/https://www.reddi... - Archive link necessary as the original has a deleted user, a deleted post, and many deleted comments. In fact, the entire sub (watchRedditDie) was ended, partly because Huffman reneged on a promise to reinstate Swarz on the founders list [1]. 1 - https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/vd2wj8/were_closing_our_sub_farewell/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/vd2wj8/were...

    >So... I'm left wondering why anyone is listening to this guy. Especially on a subject where he has been caught lying and rewriting history multiple times. Hot take: Because their push for more users was successful, resulting in a massively large user base, the majority of which I would argue is the "lowest common denominator" crowd (read: mindless consumption) and would more quickly go, "Reddit cool, spez cool" than actually pay attention to what's happening there internally.
