View submission: Previewing Upcoming Changes to Blocking

View parent comment

I suspect Reddit Admins know every time spez is mentioned - either on the forum or in lines of code. I don't think this would matter that much.

Also, I used to be on a lot of forums in the late 90s/early 00s and blocking was absolutely a feature there...it was true blocking. I could block them and it meant they didn't see my content and I didn't see theirs. I would see "comment by blocked user" that I could choose to view if I came across their content on the forum...but they couldn't respond to me. They had no idea I was in the thread at all.

Just b/c you don't like it doesn't make it a new concept.

I used Spez as an example. It's going to be happening to thousands of people.

I never even said it was a new concept, I said it was a terrible and problematic one for reddit.
