View submission: Previewing Upcoming Changes to Blocking
This isn't a new concept on the wider internet...I've seen it in action. People attempt to tag others while talking about them and generally someone just screenshots it & sends it to the user, the user temporarily unblocks them, reports the content as harassment and the content comes down.
I think most communities have some version of the "remember the human" sitewide guideline in their own rules anyway. Whether it's to be kind, civil, polite, etc...Going into a sub with rules like this and attempting to call someone out knowing they can't see you (or doing it to check if you've been blocked) will still be subject to moderation and most communities won't tolerate it. I get plenty of reports from community members about someone else's content being unkind to a third party.
Is there a chance a post or comment will be live before mods get to it? Sure. But even a basic automod command for anything containing "u/" will filter results to the mod queue so you have a chance to see them and remove inappropriate tags.

There is no way that's going to happen on reddit. Most people aren't even going to realize person A has blocked the person they're talking about, and there's no way that a majority of redditors would go out of their way to screenshot things and alert others.

Not sure why you're making wild assumptions that people are going to be able to know it's happening.
Your whole comment is full of erroneous assumptions and doesn't seem to understand the problem at all.
