Dismissed =/= reddit won anything

Yes it does, when the court dismisses a case, it's equivalent to the case failing in that court. Reddit won by default.

It's actually the clearest victory you can get, as the court deems there are absolutely no grounds for the case against reddit.

That's it it's dismissed with prejudice.
