View submission: Safety update on Reddit’s follow feature
kudos to you guys on the response time to this.
Yes, this was a low level issue and has been for a while. But you guys had it brought to your attention that it's an acute issue and have shifted (or at least claimed to have shifted) to take it on *now* rather than just glad handing it and putting it off for later.
Thanks, guys. This is the sort of responsiveness I'm glad to see.
I know you guys catch a lot of shit (enough of it from me, check your DMs), but there seems to be a culture shift on the admin team about responding to issues lately, and I love it.

On the flip side anyone who spent ten minutes on the Internet saw this coming and it was flagged immediately when it was announced and they still proceeded with it.
Reddit did what it always does, buries it's head in the sand and waits for shit to hit the fan and end up on a news site and then when they're catching shit off site they decide to look after their users.
They could also disable this feature pending the safety precautions being put in place but aren't.

Appreciate that! Big ups to the team that really came together yesterday for this. I'm lucky that I get to work with some really great people (except u/redtaboo!!!!!).
