sounds like an interesting social experiment. would people vote more or less often? would it increase or decrease the number of comments? would it spread beyond saidit? any game theorists around here?

edit: hm, maybe it is less painful to implement a block subverse and block user function, so each individual user can customize exposure to disinfo..

edit 2: we could even maintain a list of known spammers and shills / subs and automatically restrict expoure for brand new users, while informing them this is being done (and why) and ofc provide a way for everybody to disable any filters as they see fit... this just to avoid any initial shock newcomers might have seeing all the spam/hate posts

Yeah we should have block user functionality regardless of everything else. Kinda bummed that reddit open source doesn't have it, we'll have to add it.

Edit: we do have block user functionality. The block link only shows in "messages". It appears to work just like old Reddit. https://saidit.net/message/inbox/

Shall we put the block user link everywhere?

yes pls!

the blackmetal guy is also in my crosshairs

edit: just to ckarify, i have nothing against the black metal guy, i just dont like black metal. i would still like to see his posts in other subs! thats why i think a block-sub is also useful.

edit2: i had to block ~100 subs on voat to make it palatable, but only had to block one or two users. .

so, in the end, i see a block-sub much more useful and needed than a block user

I agree, the block sub feature is one of the Internet filtering system that actually works and I see no ethical concerns with.

what i like is that its upto each user to use it as needed and nobody will point fingers at the admins for implementing censorship. its all delegated to individuals and needs zero admin maintenance.
