And blocking too. Reddit’s user blocking mechanism lets you reply to someone, then block them, and they see your reply but can’t reply back. It is specifically designed to let petty people who can’t defend their ideas get the last word (i.e. let the dumb ideas persist unrebutted)
I’m not positive it it is still that way, but way back when there was TheDonald.win and nothing else it worked like that here. I was arguing with someone about the dangers of modern online “stealth” censorship versus old school print censorship from the Soviet type days. They tried to pull some sort of smack down argument on me and block me, and I wasn’t allowed a retort. I actually discussed with the admin but and he’d talked about changing, but I’ve never tested again. Most people on these forums aren’t such pussies to use it anyway.

Interesting. I just now noticed there even is a block feature here
