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.
I don’t think you can get sued for using a trademark as long as your use doesn’t confuse people into thinking you are the original.
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.
Anybody can sue anyone for any reason. Doesn’t mean they’ll win. It depends on who is willing to spend the most money.
