Reddit absolutely "is this bad". If you get blocked on Reddit, you can't even see the replies of the person who blocked you.

    I spent years on reddit and got back on it recently and never encountered this issue a single time.

    There are subreddit bans which warn you before you waste time typing, and I'm pretty sure if a comment is removed you can still recover it to copy and paste.

    If blocking someone on reddit works the same way, maybe it's not a problem because the front page of every subreddit I've ever been on has zero posts from the kind of people that block a good contributor like me.

    Sorry, but that's precisely how reddit works. If someone blocks you - all you see is [unavaliable] when they post.

    This is true (unless it's removed by reddit), but this is just the difference between how activitypub works vs. reddit so far as I know.

    Reddit is massive. I have no idea how active you are on there, but the likelihood of you finding a poster on the frontpage of a subreddit that has blocked you is marginal.

    I barely remember that happening at all in thousands and thousands of hours on reddit. And it's still better than having time wasted typing a comment that disappears.

    Alright, perhaps I overreacted and piefed deserves to have reddit's head-start growth factored in before judging.
