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.

Brand confusion, customer deception, lack of proper consent. They could get mega fucked.

Anything with a trade ark or copyright.
With this move, every company with a subreddit should be saying “all your mods are out. Here’s our guys. We run our subreddit now, not you.”
In this climate?
