    If someone blocks you, you can’t see their messages. Imo it’s dumb because it means you can tell who blocked you. In a sane situation, there shouldn’t be a way for people you’ve blocked to be able to tell that you’ve blocked them.

      Some reddit spammers even block users who catch on to them, because it prevents people from outing them as a spammer in the comments.

      It’s definitely not a matter of the blacklist where unwanted users are listed.

      The people whose comments were hidden were strangers to me before.
