Using reddit's new block feature to troll

Currently, the way "block user" works on reddit is like this - if I block you:

  • you still see my posts and comments.

  • username mentions still work

  • you cannot reply to me

  • you cannot reply to anyone who replies to me (you're blocked for the entire thread)

  • you cannot comment anywhere on any thread I create

  • you cannot vote on any of my comments or posts

So, the obvious way to use this would be to go to a sub where users flair themselves according to some identity, block everyone from one identity, then make a post that panders to the other identity. You'll only get upmarseys (because the other side is blocked), and only supporting comments. But the blocked people will still see the post and seethe about it.
