any of the news subreddits, adjacent to the main one is very dicey to talk about. and any politics you have to walk on eggshells. there are ways around a blocked person, but it involves making new account to do it. ive blocked someone, and they decided to use another account and complain on the same thread about being blocked.(this prior to the purges of reddit). if you try to report the person, you could be targeted with a ban for “report abuse”
I was warned for reporting (what I view as) legitimate violations of subreddit rules and calls to violence by reddit themselves. I was conditioned to not report abuse.
Add in reddit actioning accounts for upvoting certain content, and it’s easy to see that healthy participation on the website is severely chilled, in addition to the website generally being hostile to discourse.
Aaron Swartz is rolling in his grave, reddit is nothing like what it was founded on.
same here, apparently the politics sub will take it more harshely, what you view is legitmate may not what the mods see. it seems they dont like when you are reporting a comment you did not engage in
