View submission: Announcing Blocking Updates
This is the stupidest decision! The other day someone commented on a post (I’ve since deleted) and then blocked me so I couldn’t respond.
I felt the need to delete my post that was getting (mostly) really kind feedback (not just for me but for a lot of people who might have had similar questions) because it really upset me to see an off-base & out of context conversation *on my post* unfold that I could do *nothing about*!
It’s amazing how a top comment can move the conversation, especially when there isn’t a counter point from the person people would expect to hear from. It makes it seem like they have no rebuttal.
I messaged the mods of that sub about it and they agreed this is a really troubling way to manufacture the appearance of a valid argument & said they’d be banning the user who did it. It sucks to think we have to rely on mods to ban accounts that abuse this, since they are *already* doing alllllll the other *unpaid* work of moderating a sub and that person can just turn around and make another account to do it again.
Really poorly thought out decision from Reddit.
There's nothing here!
