View submission: Announcing Blocking Updates
You should not have the right to prevent public users from posting on threads that you, yourself, made public.
This is the bit that baffles me, how did no one notice this was at odds with how a forum should work? It's a forum, not your diary. Why the fuck did they think allowing everyone to be mini-moderators who can control what content *other users* see was a good idea?
I can even kind of see an argument for hiding a user's comments, but if you use Reddit to discuss or be informed of news, hiding posts entirely puts that in jeopardy.

I post, I don't want to see a blocked person's comments: Fine by me.
I post, I don't want *everyone else to see a particular person's comments,* Reddit is dumb and creating needless toxicity.
