  • Out of curiosity, I went and checked the front page of r/all. Of the current top 25 posts, these are the ones which pertain to the Kimmel situation followed by their respective subreddit:

    /1. news /2. askreddit /3. cringetiktoks /7. technology /9. nofilternews /10. politics /13. fauxmoi /14. facepalm /18. whitepeopletwitter /23. popculturechat

    The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?

    I think the way it works is good.

    1. If the blocked user browses on another account (or not logged in at all), they can’t tell that you have blocked them.

    2. Bot/spam accounts can’t use the blocking system to stop users who target these accounts to call them out on their disguised malicious behavior. This became a problem on Reddit when they changed their blocking system away from what we have here.

    Edit: I guess there is a downside of if so many of the sane users block the same nutjobs, then there won’t be anybody to downvote or refute those nutjobs
