FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link) (digg.com)

On Digg there's some drama because someone registered the community “/wallstreetbets,” and the admins took it from him and gave it to one mod of the subreddit “r/wallstreetbets.”

One day later I see this discussion about how Reddit registered trademarks for some high-profile subreddits.

This could be relevant for the Threadiverse.

Isn't that ironic (don't you think)? To be saying that about Digg that came prior to Reddit! (Although I don't know about wallstreetbets in particular)

That's not ironic, people didn't confuse Reddit for Digg, it wasn't a even Digg clone nor did it pretend to be one.
