View submission: Safety update on Reddit’s follow feature
In its worst case implementation it would mean rule breaking users would simply have to block moderators in order to keep their content from being seen and moderated
I'm guessing it'll work like a mod blocking a user.
Currently when a mod blocks a user, all their posts are invisible to the mod except on the subs they mod.
Say you commented on the sub I mod after I'd blocked you. I'd be able to see the content you've posted on that sub, but the comment I'm currently replying to would not. If I went into your profile, it would be completely blank.

I suppose the core difference there is you as the moderator have the agency to change that. If my conduct in a sub you moderate left you wanting additional info you could choose to unblock me and then all the content on my profile would be yours to view.
Under a different system I would be able to prevent you from accessing that additional info which is likely to make moderating more challenging
