View submission: What we’re working on this year

I think the exponential block is the fundamental flaw. Reddit discussions are meant to branch out into different discussions.

I ran into a situation today in a national news/politics subreddit where the first child of the top comment had apparently blocked me. I wanted to participate in a nested discussion with someone else, but was not able to.

What do you think users should do in a scenario where a blocked user is prohibited from participating in a discussion by "crossfire"? Should we quote the entire discussion and reply in a new top level comment, tagging the user we wanted to reply to?

I think user blocks should only affect the blockers interaction with the blocked:

If more drastic actions are needed for some reason, let moderators deal with it.
