View submission: Safety update on Reddit’s follow feature
They're being downvoted because they're stating the obvious and it isn't actually contributing. Yes, we all know that you can just log out and get around the block. However, people are only willing to go through so much effort to troll. Anytime you create a barrier to access it decreases the rates of harassment. In most cases, these are generic transphobes who want to do as much damage to as many people as possible. They don't hold individual vendettas. If they don't have access to one person, they're just going to move onto the next one.
By default, Twitter accounts are public. When you block someone on Twitter, they can no longer see any of your Tweets, who you follow, or who follows you. Yes, if you *really* want to see what someone is tweeting you can log out, or make a second account, but yeeeeeeeeet Twitter still finds this system more functional and useful than the way Reddit has blocking implemented.
