New Delhi: Reddit, a social network for content aggregation, allows members to share their thoughts, opinions, and other information. Following certain instances of abuse, particularly via private message, Reddit implemented the Block function. This application enables Redditors to restrict the annoyances of an unwanted individual. Previously, when you blocked someone on Reddit, you could no longer see them, but they could still see you.

The block simply stopped you from viewing their profiles and postings, but they could still see your posts, comment to them, and generally annoy you; the only difference was that you could never see them again.
