This was from around 3 weeks ago. I pretty religiously (pun intended) blocked and reported ads from the “hegetsus” fundie christian bs group for probably 6-8 months. Naively I thought it actually started making a difference.
Then I just get served an ad from them with a little note that this was “Posted from a blocked account”.
“Blocked”… you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…
It’s not just ads. They used to hide posts made by blocked users but they stopped doing that a while ago. Blocking doesn’t do anything anymore. There is also a limit to how many accounts you can block, which is easy to reach just by blocking bots.
Another reason why I enjoyed Apollo. Block someone and you never have to see their stupid face again.
Wow didn’t know all that. I guess disregard for user preferences runs deep in the reddit corporate cultural dna.
