MODERATORS
Dbrand has a really strong case here IMO, since they pretty heavily edit the internals and add a few easter eggs, which are still visible in Casetify's final designs
Also, TIL:
The Easter eggs showing up is pretty solid evidence
Map makers used to do this to catch people ripping off their work, looks like dbrand made a solid decision in doing the same (though probably not intentionally)
I'm still bummed I can't take a vacation to Frisland :(
These are called fictitious entries. Dictionaries and encyclopedias do this too.
