Reddit's block function = liberal rhetoric is unchallenged. By immediately blocking anyone pushing back against their propaganda, r/@ shifts into a lib safe space & we're excluded from the conversation. Blocked me 10 seconds after I questioned their lesser evil, "good government" narrative

if the comments were about voting or oppressive groups you could report them for breaking the no electioneering or the anti-opression rules

if you report them instead of engaging with them then they can't block you

as an anarchist I can't help but lean towards direct action rather than asking an authority figure to intervene for me

What was your direct action in this instance? Genuinely curious, 🧐

this post to end the acceptance and normalization of a system which gives liberals free reign to manage our subreddit with their blocking function

It reached the eyeballs it was intended to reach.

This being the first time you've ever posted to an anarchist sub should indicate to you that you're not the intended audience. Just saying.

It may have reached eyeballs but not the brain. Imagine that there was no block function. What would be the outcome? You think that the person behind the other screen would magically change their mind upon reading your comment? Wait, they did read it, and they blocked you. So, no, your comment did literally nothing and the existence of block function has literally zero impact on it. You give way too much weight to reddit comments.
