    Lemmy would not have existed without Reddit. Lemmy is a clone of reddit!

    Plus reddit put all the work intro attracting users and communities in the first place, before driving them to places like lemmy.

      You should probably read up on the original author of reddit, Aaron Schwartz, before claiming capitalism made it.

        I know about Aaron Schwartz. His beliefs didn’t change the fact that Reddit had major VC backing and wouldn’t have existed without it.

        It’s really not a hard concept to grasp.

            Bruh, reddit was created in search of capital. It grew and attracted communities in search of capital.

            Reddit wouldn’t have existed otherwise.

              Aaron Schwartz did not author reddit in search of capital. He created it because he thought it would facilitate internet communication. Ohanian thought he could profit off of it.
