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.

Being right some of the time doesn't mean they're right all the time. Cops arrest drunk drivers and domestic abusers sometimes, but that doesn't mean they can be trusted when they turn their bodycams off and ask us to trust their interpretation of an event. Mods do not wield the same power as cops, but I believe the analogy holds water with regards to the issue of trust.

You're right, banning people who venture into communities to start shit is a good analogy to police brutality.
