View submission: Safety update on Reddit’s follow feature
I don't really see the benefit of that, other than to give the sort of people who would ban people for participation in another sub (against reddit guidelines, mind you) yet another tool to basically wall themselves off from the wider world. It wouldn't prevent any actual harassment any more than the current block does exactly for the reasons you mentioned, all it'd be used for is basically a preeemptive block of everyone who commits the heinous crime of commenting in an ever-growing list of *verboten* subreddits and such. Without said blocked people knowing, of course - incidentally, a lot like subreddit bans which don't notify the user if the user hasn't commented in or submitted to the sub.
There's nothing here!
