@tychi@merveilles. Maybe @davew can shed more light, but it was my understanding, that while he made several contributions, Swartz was not a “co-founder” or even really a co-developer” of RSS. He contributed some to the W3C Dev working group (with many others) in the creation of RSS and later co-wrote the RSS 1.0 spec, building on the prior art. I’m not trying to throw shade on anything he did do, but I just don’t like sweeping credit given anyone without substantial evidence I’ve never seen.
@shoq "the brilliant co-founder [of Reddit] that [was a major contributor to] RSS" would be a far better way to word it
(Edit: autocorrect)
