Reddit's blocking mechanism was also insane. Take this hypothetical thread,

  • User A
  • User B
  • User C

If User B blocks User A, User A cannot reply to User C. Blocking on Reddit prevents people from replying to anything that is a reply to you instead of just your own comments.

Works the same here, from what I can tell. I would prefer a "this user has been blocked by you" message instead of just cutting off the whole thread.

Really? Someone want to volunteer to be blocked temporarily?
