Reddit
made its (small) revolution and now offers a real blocking function.
Until now, the latter consisted of muting users and was conspicuous by its inefficiency…
It is now possible to block a user on Reddit
The social network today announces a new way of ” to block users, as can be done on other platforms (Twitter for example), no longer content to simply mute the account in question. From now on, a user you have blocked will no longer be able to see the content you publish. It was time !
Reddit explains: Previously, if I blocked u/IAmABlockedUser, I couldn’t see his content, but he saw mine. With the updated blocking experience, I won’t see u/IAmABlockedUser’s content and he won’t see mine either.”
Excellent news, as the function has so far proved ineffective for people facing harassment or other forms of abuse, since any “blocked” user could still interact with their messages…
