Nokia Tells Reddit It Infringes Some Patents in Lead-Up to IPO

So what are the patents being claimed? I didn't see this in the article.

The article doesn't say because the filing which it's based on didn't specify the details of the dispute or reproduce the full letter that Nokia sent. We don't publicly know yet, although I'm sure that if this goes to court we'll have an opportunity soon to dive into the details.

Based on the type of service that Reddit provides, there's almost no reasonable patent that they would have infringed from Nokia. So it could be something related to video compression/delivery, or some very vague social media feature that's commonplace but somehow patented.

I wonder how Stelon Husk plans to handle this…

Can you explain this for the folks who are interested in, but don’t understand, your reference?

He doesn't like Elon Musk, and he doesn't like Steve Huffman (Reddit CEO, I believe), so he combines the two.

It was actually a nickname that Reddit employees coined for him when it became apparent he was trying to copy Elon in all of the worst ways possible, reported in this article a few days ago: https://www.wired.com/story/inside-reddit-protest-ipo/

But true, I don’t particularly care for either one of them.
