    It usually comes in waves whenever reddit does this. We’ll see a modest bump. Some will stay, some will go back. It’s just on us to welcome those who come over and hope they stay.

          I found out on Reddit there’s a maximum amount of usernames you can block before it stops you lol

            its about 1000, and hten they stop muting them, whats the point lol. even blocking someone still allows you to see them. i have a feeling reddit eventually will make it difficult to block people.

              The limit is much less for communities or subReddits as well. I would block or mute communities I didn’t want to see, until I hit a limit and it started randomly unblocking some. Not even an error, it would just unblock them on it’s own.

              Extremely annoying. Especially when their algorithm is so terrible sometimes. Like I remember it kept showing me Indian Subreddits like India News, India Sports, ask an Indian, casual Indian talk, etc. I’m not even Indian, I can’t even read their languages, stop showing me that 😂
