    Yeah, that one really surprised me.
    I knew that RiF had to rename at some point and I just figured that’s when Reddit took issue with the trademark infraction of all Reddit apps, which would have kind of been fair enough.

    But that the RiF dev actually had a separate deal, and his app was already called “Reddit is Fun” (which users almost certainly wouldn’t mistake for the official app),
    and that deal still got cancelled – I don’t get that one.

      I remember the name change but had no idea it was about that. I thought it was pretty obvious it wasn’t an official reddit app, but I guess that’s fair but definitely shows as a series of moves to wall off the brand and product.
