What features can Saidit offer that Reddit can't? We'll never be a real Reddit alternative until Saidit is outright *better* than Reddit.

Most Reddit users never block anyone, and would never use such a feature.

You're thinking backwards - you're thinking about what you would like to see. That's not the question. What features would get current Reddit users to flock to Saidit?

Trolling is the act of deliberately provoking angry responses using subtle linguistic techniques in order to avoid dealing with arguments. It is most often associated with narcissism and the techniques employed are called narcissistic abuse. The only thing that can counter narcissistic abuse is to ignore the narcissist. The blocking feature would be perfect for this if the narcissist could see they were blocked (not giving a narcissist attention drives them insane).

Sigh. That isn't a feature that will lure people to Reddit. Please stay on topic!

That's a feature that YOU want because you block others and get blocked all the time!

So you’re just going to troll me in regards to trolling. Well that’s me leaving saidit then. Bye. BTW, it’s not Zionism causing problems around the world, it’s Americanism, the nation that wants to declassify narcissism as a mental health disorder because it’s so prevalent.

I've liked a bunch of your posts so far, but since you just left you'll never read this. Oh well.

I literally said let's talk about features that will bring people to Saidit, and you wouldn't engage with the topic at hand. I feel completely justified in staying on topic. You want to talk about the definition of trolling, create your own topic.

I think you're right, if you block someone, they might just follow you around, trolling and spamming, so the incentive to block is somewhat low. I have almost never blocked anyone on Reddit, since I joined around the time of the Digg migration.
