View submission: Announcing Blocking Updates
This is an insanely shitty feature. Blocking someone hinders them not only from replying to *anyone* else in the thread downstream, but ALSO to myself upstream the chain.
Seriously, how could anyone ever think that this is something that could work in a public discussion space like reddit?
Fucking hell, I have never been happier to use an adblock.

Yeah, I just discovered my first instance of this feature. For a reason I genuinely do not know, a user blocked me. Then, I could not reply to any comment further down that comment chain, even if the comment I was replying to wasn't posted by the person who blocked me.
I'm totally okay with not letting people you've blocked reply to you. That's fine. But when it hinders your ability to reply to others it's just asinine. Come on Reddit. 🤦🏿♂️

Yep, someone replied to my comment and then blocked me. Someone else replied to my comment and I cannot respond to them.
I should not be blocked from replying to other people under my comment only prevented from replying directly with the person that blocked me.
