How can you hide your comments from others seeing them?
I started thinking about this possibility when I came across people's profiles where comments were hidden.
(Also, when clicking on “Send message” this option was not available.)
I found the "Content visibility" and "Active in communities visibility" items in the settings (Account - Profile) and disabled them. Then I checked what my profile looks like from another application where I do not use my account.
The result is that all comments are still visible.
How do other users restrict viewing from comments and the ability to message them?
If someone blocks you, you can't see their messages. Imo it's dumb because it means you can tell who blocked you. In a sane situation, there shouldn't be a way for people you've blocked to be able to tell that you've blocked them.
Some reddit spammers even block users who catch on to them, because it prevents people from outing them as a spammer in the comments.
It’s definitely not a matter of the blacklist where unwanted users are listed.
The people whose comments were hidden were strangers to me before.
Guys, let me ask a question.
