It's become very common for people to weaponize the block feature by posting something inflammatory in reply to you, and then blocking you so you can't reply to them. That allows their words to remain the last statement in possibly a long running argument. It would reduce the ability of the feature to be weaponized if, when you block someone, any comments you made in reply to their comments would get deleted automatically.

on your profile, you can go to a list of every sub you’ve ever interacted with by making a post or comment, and you can check off which ones you do and don’t want to show on your profile.

when you interact with a new subject for the first time, though, it’s automatically set to hidden. i just want to hide like six subreddits because they’re related to the city i live in and other similar details i don’t want easily findable on my account. every time I interact with a new subreddit, i don’t want to have to go in and manually allow it to show on my profile every single time. just let me hide specific ones. i don’t want to select which ones show up, i just want to hide a few.

let me just have a “hide” option where i can just set the ones to be hidden and not have to touch it again.

the current way could even be altered to be less annoying if, in the list of subreddits you’ve interacted with, they were at least sorted a little more sensibly, by the order in which you’ve interacted with them so the most recent ones are at the top.

I realize it is a way of growing small subreddits but, I and many other users are getting spam subreddit invites, it would be a nice little QoL feature to improve the overall experience.

Posts dont go under 0 but People can destroy your comment karma because of hoard mentality. Destroying your ability to do things just because it's a hot take. Karma in general is pretty badly made and can easily be improved. Toxic comments should get negative karma. Not comments that some people disagree with. Report works for toxic comments also.

Correction: not affecting profile comment karma as heavily or a limit to it. Or just remove karma and make a better system.

It works on other app and can work on reddit. Bookmark saved button on comments and post.

There should be a “new user welcome” identifier

Honestly, I kinda wish Reddit changed how downvotes worked.

Right now, people mostly use them as an I disagree’ button instead of what Reddiquette originally intended. Half the time, you can post something completely reasonable and still get buried just because the subreddit's mood is against you.

I almost feel like if you downvote someone, Reddit should pop up a small window to make you pick a reason first:

• off-topic
• misinformation
• harassment
• low effort etc

At least then people would know WHY they’re being downvoted instead of just getting silently dogpiled by subjective opinions and hivemind voting.

Hello, I’ve encountered an issue. I have received notifications for comments that say that I should kill myself. If I click on it to go to it, it isn’t there, because reddit’s filters have snagged it. But there the abuse is in my inbox. Because it was caught, the comment isn’t visible. Because it isn’t visible, I can’t report it. But there it is in my notifications.

So reddit knows this message shouldn’t be visible, but sends it to me anyway? That needs to be fixed. There are plenty of vulnerable people all over this place. What is currently happening is they are the only people who see the abuse, and they have no way to report it.

Have you ever felt like making a post to get a few comments you could reply to about the community's topic but don't want your post to be in the limelight after a few minutes? Currently you could make the post, reply to some of the comments, and then either kinda have that post still showing or delete it and still communicate with a few of the comments. But once it's deleted, there's no way to undelete it. The terminology I think that makes most sense is what gmail confidential mode calls it: "remove access / renew access" but in this case it would be more like

"remove community access" or "renew community access"

The idea I have would be a more dedicated way to remove community access to the post, with the option to renew access if you felt like it. So instead of just a "hard delete" option with no "undo" capability, my idea is the ability to "soft delete" / "recycle bin" or just "remove access" to the post from the subreddit view, while still allowing the few responders and yourself to interact with the post. But then, if you did feel like renewing access so more could see it and potentially respond, they could do so. Depending on when you renew access, it might not be at the top anymore, but it could still be searchable and browsable even if it's not at the top. So others could chime in, if you felt like allowing them to do so.
