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.

OK, maybe so. I blocked that instance a long time ago, and haven’t kept up on recent goings-on. If you say that it’s gotten worse, I’ll take your word for it.

Which instance are you talking about there?

[-] homes@piefed.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

oh, sorry-- .ml

I haven't personally run afoul of issues on dbzer0, but I've seen others complain about it for a while.

.ml has always been bad and even some of dbzer0’s admins are questioning the direction they’re taking lately.

when I first joined up during the reddexodus, I followed the lemmy drama a bit, but I'm really over it by now. after 30+ years of following online community drama, I'm just burned out on it. it's all so petty and childish, it holds no interest for me anymore.
