minus-squarekingthrillgore@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up15·1 year agoFun fact: Back in the day RIF paid for the pleasure to use the reddit name and spez killed the deal upon taking over.
minus-squareThesePaycheckAvenging@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoI do remember when its name was “Reddit is fun” and then was renamed to “RIF is fun” but never questioned why. Your explanation fits the current mess.
minus-squareRichardB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoI always wondered why the app was called RIF is fun. I always tried to search for reddit because I thought the app was called Reddit is Fun.
minus-squareJon-H558@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI knew Reddit had claimed trademark and got them to remove it, I didn’t realise they had a deal at one point then Reddit went back on it
minus-squareZana@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoSpez has altered the deal, pray he doesn’t alter it further.
minus-squareXeelee@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoHe already has. I’m altering the deal too. spez can go fuck himself. I’m out
minus-squaresquawkduck@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year ago@kingthrillgore I had thought RIF was illegally using the trademark, even so I didn’t care who was in the wrong, RIF was a godsend even then, I wouldn’t be using reddit on phone without it. Grant to learn that RIF tried to do good legally until spez came along.
