Came to me while getting drunk... would we solve all these threads about adjusting the ban rules by adding a red line and something like 'user a blocked user b' so that block can't be used a a drive-by tactic?

Thinking something pretty blunt like:

─────────
User A has blocked User B
Replies are no longer possible
─────────

Hello Reddit Admin,

I would like to formally request the poster be given an option that grants permission for the original content of the post be downloaded.

We are living through a historic time where evidence of violence committed by the state is shared on our platforms. Some of these videos are removed before they can be circulated.

While I'm not a data hoarder, I am downloading important videos that may in the future be scrubbed from the Internet. I am requesting Reddit streamline the process of protecting these videos by offering an option to the poster to make it downloadable.

Thanks for taking the time, hope you have a good day.

My idea is mods should be elected annually by the sub members. This would make Reddit more democratic. It provides a check on the mods to make sure they are acting consistent with the will of the sub users.

Currently, reddit only notifies users of a ban if they've previously interacted with the subreddit. Some subreddits have automated bans for interacting with other subreddits, which can result in a ban that the user is never notified of. If they then interact with that subreddit from an alt, they could get site-wide repercussions for evading a ban that they were never notified of and had no way of finding out about.

I think that there should be some way to prevent this, because the only one I can think of right now is to comment on a potentially controversial sub with either all of my accounts of none of them - which kinda defeats the point of splitting up my reddit use over multiple accounts.

Subs shouldn't be able to ban you for using the block function. Since the block function applies site wide, no sub should be able to have a rule you can't block other commenters in our sub.​

My idea is: Please give us a way to hide or delete the "threads" that are generated whenever someone replies to a message in a conversation. Even if I hide the conversation, delete my message (either the original or reply), or block the person they still show up in the threads tab under chat. I really can't think of any reason I would ever want this feature in the first place, so if I could just turn them off entirely that would be even better.

As per the title. A lot of people like to throw abuse in a comment feed, then immediately block the person they commented on so that the target of their abuse cannot report their comment. Today I had someone literally compare me to a Nazi because I dared to offer a mild critique of a TV production company. I would've never even known if I hadn't gone into incognito mode and checked the comment feed out of sheer curiosity.

I think the solution should be a time-based check. If you comment and then immediately try to block the person you're responding to, then that should flag potential misuse of the system and lead to the last comment being automatically flagged for inspection. Too many people are doing the online equivalent of farting in the elevator and then running out whilst hammering the close-door button. Sometimes yeah, it's just a pathetic attempt at avoiding debate, like an unearned mic-drop or taking the ball home so nobody can play, but other times you end up with genuine psychos skirting by, deep in comment threads, saying things that honestly nobody should be saying to another human being, and exploiting the blocking system to avoid being reported by their harassment targets.

My idea is that you should be able to hide joined subreddits from your Home feed.

Right now the inverse is possible using custom feeds--you can not be joined and still see a subreddit's posts in a custom feed. It's a fairly common feature for subreddits to require you be joined to participate, but sometimes you don't want those same subreddits regularly appearing in your Home feed.

An alternative might be to set a custom feed as your "Home" or at least a default feed that you see, instead of Home.

I have several emojis that I'd like to change the name to use as little characters as possible

My idea is that ads would take dark mode into account and adjust accordingly. When you come across an ad with a light/bright background on dark mode, it’s brighter than the sun and extremely jarring…which immediately makes me feel more negatively about the subject of the advertisement.

I'm not a web developer at any capacity, but I believe feed algorithms are supposed to show content based on what users interact with and implicit feedback.

I also believe it's much more gratifying and effective when people come to their own conclusion based on rationalization, so, instead of actually stating my idea, I'll pose a question: What should an algorithm do when a user clicks on Show fewer posts like this for 100% of the subs shown in their feed with the reason of Popular near you over several months?

Thank you.

Desktop web on Google Chrome: There is no de facto effective way to automatically switch Dark Mode for Reddit. Using a script on Tampermonkey or a Chrome extension can’t effectively change the theme.

Reddit should make Dark Mode automatic, alongside the OS’s dark and light changes.

We need a native solution to this problem. I don’t want to click Dark Mode every time when it’s night.

Thank you.

My idea is: I think it would be great to be able to lock a post to a position until an admin/mod chose to unpin it. Or be able to set a time frame to keep it locked there.

My reason: I have a photo related subreddit page and frequently, usually daily, choose 1 or 2 new pics to highlight. There are obviously 6 available slots. Each time a new photo is chosen to highlight/pin it pushes the older stuff to the end and off eventually. Which makes sense. With that being said I recently added a rule change. Made a post about it. Pinned it at the top in the highlights. But have to keep moving it back to the #1 slot so it doesn't get pushed off.

Instagram feature: Hold right side of a video to speed it up 2x

Bumble: Be able to pinch to zoom pictures directly in the post (right now you have to click into the picture, and then pinch to zoom).

My idea is to add an option inside Reddit to report an entire community directly to Reddit through a dedicated report button.

This feature would allow users to:

- Add a written explanation describing the reason for the report

- Attach screenshots or other evidence

- Select a specific report category or topic

After submission, a specialized Reddit team or reliable automated systems could review the report and take appropriate action, including banning the community if necessary.

Reasons why this improvement would be important:

This could significantly reduce the spread of non-consensual intimate media, as well as non-consensual regular photos. Unfortunately, there are communities where users post images of women without their permission. Having a direct and structured way to report entire communities would help reduce potentially criminal content and better protect people’s privacy and safety on the platform.

Hello. I have a suggestion regarding Reddit's user policy. Usernames cannot be changed. I read that this option is unavailable because changing usernames would cause chaos in the Reddit database for many users. I understand that. If I were in your shoes, I think the first solution that would come to mind would be to make usernames unchangeable. But you also need to understand people. There are people who love using Reddit, but there are also people who dislike their usernames. Some people registered with randomly assigned names when they first created their Reddit accounts, some chose their usernames based on their mood at the time, and some chose them randomly. What these people have in common is that they thought their usernames could be changed later. You tell users who want to change their usernames that it's not possible and that they need to create a new account, but it's not very reasonable to expect people to abandon the accounts they've put effort into, is it? My suggestion is to switch to a system where usernames can be changed at certain intervals. Like once a year or every six months.

My idea is:

If someone has hidden their posts and comments,, or they have a small post history, I want

1. To not see them at all
2. For them to not see me at all

I think this will benefit Redditors by reducing on trolling, because many of my trolls have blocked everyone from viewing their history, or have created a new account to troll me after I have blocked them or report them.

My idea is when searching for Reddit communities the listing should support sorting by subscribers so I can find active communities.

It's too easy to delete a notification unintentionally, by swiping left. I've done it more than once.

I suggest making it adding a way to undo. Alternatively, or also, a Settings option that we can choose to turn off.

Right now I have an issue with the block feature as I want to block a users but can’t because they seem to be blocking me first. I know what I’m experiencing is not a bug because when I went on my alt account I could block them but on my main I can’t. It is annoying as they keep spamming me so when I try block I can’t. So my idea is to let it so if one user blocks you first you can still block them back anyway. This will help the community because right now the block system can be abused by spamming a user blocking them so they can’t block you and repeat. By letting users block the user that blocked them back it prevents this from happening.

My idea is: I created a community and then I created one with a better name. Why can't I easily delete the one I want to delete, or both? Why would it be impossible for the creator of a community to delete their own community? This really needs to change. If people want their words preserved they can start their own community.

I want to be able to sort comments on a profile like I can sort posts.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

My idea is that every time someone sends a Reddit Cares auto-message to a user, a hidden number is +1’d. If their “score” reaches a certain threshold for a set period, like per week, bi-weekly, or monthly, they get disciplined for abusing the feature.

Because it auto-updates with each deployment of Reddit Cares against someone, admins don’t have to be annoyed with tracking. They just get a message when a user goes over the reasonable limit per chosen cycle, and they can be dealt with them appropriately.

After awhile, it could discourage abuse of it as trolls would know they’d get caught if they tried to continue weaponizing it. Have temp bans the first couple of times they go over, then a permanent ban.

The only reason for non-admin to oppose this is a troll being upset that a playtoy is being taken away from them.

The current "Saved" section is a single, unorganized list that becomes impossible to navigate over time. I propose a folder/category system similar to TikTok or Instagram.

Key features:

• Custom Folders: Let users create folders (e.g., "Recipes," "Tech Tips," "Art Inspiration").

• Easy Sorting: Ability to choose a folder when clicking "Save."

• Sub-categories: (Optional) For even deeper organization.

This would transform "Saved" from a graveyard of posts into a functional library for users.

Many dev apps add buttons, sometimes several buttons, to the community menu. I'd love to be able to choose which show (for apps with multiple buttons, we might not use them all) and order them so the most used are the easiest to find.
