After a lot of debate and my people’s request, Reddit has finally introduced the Blocking option to its users. By using this you can Block Someone on Reddit in just a few easy steps. Although Reddit does not allow you to Block someone directly on its Platform. You can Mute that user also the user should have already interacted with one of your Reddit posts as you can’t block someone who has never interacted with you or never replied to your post or comment on Reddit., The User can see your posts and comments even after Blocking them but they will not be able to reply to any of your posts on Reddit once they are blocked.

Reddit is a massive online community Website with millions of active monthly uses discussing on various topics through Sub-reddits. Reddit works like a daily newspaper for a lot of people interested in different topics across the web. You can find information and discussions on almost any topic on Reddit and these discussions are mainly done by people who are either experts in that topic or interested in it.
But having millions of active users and thousands of daily posts it’s hard for Reddit to monitor everyone and everything and it is also hard for its users to keep everything under community standard guidelines and people get frustrated because of some ugly comments or posts they receive and sometimes they just want to Block that user on Reddit or Delete their Reddit account.
Deleting a Reddit account is a headache as you will not be able to regain access to the same username as you had with the previous account once you delete it.
