View submission: Introducing Collectible Avatars
Every reddit development post for years has been made up entirely of stuff I will not ever use, and in fact a lot of it has made the site worse to use.
They even "fixed" what's not broken, and made blocking feature worse.

Yeah, I can "block" a user yet I can still see their comments but I can't browse their profile? What fucking use is that? I mean, I know the original implementation of "blocking" killed participation as I've blocked some users in city-specific subs and when they'd have a top-level comment, the entire comment chain would be invisible (which was a lot of comments as they would have bad takes and respond to *every* single comment). They should just instead replace the username with a generic "blocked user" for the handle and "blocked comment" for the comment body rather than either of their implementations. However, I get the feeling that would absolutely nuke their infrastructure having to do that on the fly.
