/wallstreetbets is a rabbit hole. Apparently some "high-profile" reddit subreddits are trademarked. The list includes: ELI5, TIL, ShowerThoughts, IAMA, AmITheAsshole and others | digg

That rabbit hole will lead you to intersting post by original wsb reddit founder on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/11ha0ii/im_jaime_rogozinski_founder_of_wallstreetbets_and/ In short, founder tried to trademark the wallstreetbets name, but court gave th

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.

    These communities routinely get people serially downvoting them and since lemmy doesn’t present a way to avoid that, they resort to banning people who are seen as only downvoting. They don’t ban on a single downvote either.

    I can see your downvotes on my end. I don’t know if your software federation broke or what else happened.

      They banned me from StableWerewolves and that doesn’t even have any posts for me to have downvoted. And for the more active ones, I can’t find another post I’ve interacted with in StableDiffusionWitches (or the dragons one, or several others I was banned from). Unless there’s more there that I’m not seeing I literally was banned from SDWitches because of a single downvote (from seven months ago).

      I’m not saying “don’t ban the trolls”, that’s obviously fine - someone downvoting the majority of your posts across your communities isn’t interacting in good faith. But you can’t honestly say I’m a troll, I’ve got what four downvotes accross all of them, of which two might be federation issues? Should I really be getting mass-banned with a "no you’re the problem for not liking us enough >:( " message?

      If I’m a troll I’m the worst troll ever, and that’s why I’m saying those mods are being hypersensitive - even in the best case that it’s not just a federation issue with the downvotes and I really did do it, I’ve gone seven months with four interactions. They need to tune whatever method they’re using to decide who’s a troll, because if that is the threshold they’re clinging to to justify how persecuted they are that is incredibly unhealthy. Even r/conservative, the biggest exclusionary echo-chamber I can think of, is more lenient with their bans than the StableDiffusion[Family] mods are being. Are they really so much more reviled than actual unapologetic nazis that they need to be this hypervigilant?

      Maybe the reason they get people DMing them isn’t just that they run communities devoted to AI slop (and it’s incredibly trendy to do things like call it “AI slop” right now), but also that they’re banning people from communities with no content, for no good reason, and with a very rude victim-blaming message while they do it? And that’s a shitty thing to do?
