Just based on historical precedent alone, I imagine people would default to whichever fork is more economically popular (larger market cap)
I do really hope that if a fork comes, there isn't a protracted fight over naming rights

And which one will inherit the subreddit?

This is what is concerning you? A meaningless bullshit subreddit?

It's a sarcastic remark about stale narratives. In the bcash runup a lot of people concerned themselves with "who would get the bitcoin name" and "who would get the subreddit" like it's some sort of divorce proceeding.

yes, it was a throwback to that (except now I don't think anyone gives a fk about reddit)

Let's be careful with terminology; there wouldn't be more than one "fork". Your question is better stated as "which side of the fork".
Nobody would "inherit" the name "bitcoin". The name would stay where it is. There aren't any kingmakers who declare who "gets the name". Perhaps in the 2017 era it was reasonable to speculate whether exchanges would swing their scepters and declare such things, but we learned that's just not how things work.
It's been almost ten years of this. I'm tired. Let's just get this fork over with, get our little airdrops and move on.
