View submission: Previewing Upcoming Changes to Blocking
This will allow users who engage in hate speech, harassment, brigading, disinformation, etc. to fly under the radar by simply blocking the good faith actors who document and report them. A good faith actor would have to switch profiles to even *see* bad faith content (outside the subs they moderate). If you take it further and do this:
We are thinking through how to expand the blocking feature so that we prevent harassment from alts of your blocker.
you will create some sort of dark Reddit. Dark Reddit will be full of dangerous content but the watchdogs will no longer see it. Not to mention that bad faith actors can block archiving services. Their actions will be impossible to document in the future.
This looks like a recipe for disaster to me. Please reconsider this policy! Dark Reddit will make Reddit even more dangerous than it already is.
There's nothing here!
