Yeah, I think it's accurate to say "Reddit was founded in 2005 by two college friends."
But some acknowledgement of the other early people, including Aaron Swartz (who I believe was nominally considered a co-founder), might've been appropriate.
What was the context of the graphic to which some people are objecting?
In that context, is the most important story what two people did alone initially (or with the help of YC and others)? Or the eventual cofounders of record? Or everyone who was influential/formative/contributor to a given milestone of Reddit? I don't know.
