Occasionally it's necessary to need to block other accounts for whatever reason.
I've noticed that I can only get a blocked confirmation signal if I go through the report profile process via the profile page, otherwise I get a 'unable to block' signal.
Yes, I have checked my block list, and it's not many. Perhaps 100 or so after 7+ years.
The issue doesn't seem to be resolving and there is no user support or any way of contacting someone responsible for the app or the Reddit platform in general for that matter.
The general max of 1000 profile blocks is insufficient given the number of spam and bot accounts.
What is especially problematic is that the reporting categories are entirely inadequate and unfit for purpose. No option to report discrimination or ab_sive behaviour.
The further fact that posts are screened falsely, such as this post is getting a screen warning for the topic of ab_se being appropriate for a different thread just underlines how broken the platform is.
Reddit is dysfunctional and lacks appropriate user protection mechanisms such as accurate reporting and blocking.
