Reddit will allow you to hide posts, comments and NSFW activity from your general profile

Reddit will now allow its users to do something that has not been allowed before: “Organizing” their personal files selectively Some publishing and comment activity from other users.

To date, Reddit has full comments and publishing activity for users in profiles. So, although most users are unknown, others can easily see the history of them and know the societies in which they are active. This feature, which many users see as a major part of Reddit openness, Redditors helped overcome hunting and lying and many other types of bad (or ) Behavior on the platform.

However, with the update, Reddit users will be able to “organize” their profile. Additional control will allow people to hide all their general posts and comments from their personal file or hide public publications and comments in a specific sub -sub -file. There is also a “NSFW” switch, which will hide posts and comments in NSFW Subredits. The setting will not hide a comment or posting in Subreddit where he originally appeared, but it will not be visible in the user profile.

The company notes that there will be some points in these settings for supervisors, who may depend on the activity of the past two users to clarify the rules of the rules or to determine who is qualified to join their community. “If you publish, comment, send Modmail, or ask to be an accredited poster or a request to join the private subreddit, the MD team will be able to access the full profile content record for 28 days after the reaction – regardless of your settings,” says Reddit in common questions.

Despite this privilege, many warriors are not completely happy with changes, which may change some of the basic dynamics of the platform. “It seems that this will lead to bad actors to easily hide their behavior from the average user.” In the publication of Redit, he says. “Unless the Ministry of Defense, you will not be able to see that they are publishing misleading information through dozens of different submarines, for example.”

Others note that the feature also means that creating an alt or Altawale account is somewhat less necessary, as it is easier to hide posts that you do not want to link to your presence on the application. Although this may be an additional comfort for some, it also raises questions about the company’s approach to creating new accounts. During the latest call call, CEO Steve Hoffman This Reddit was studying ways “to develop the” process of “creating a nominal account historically.” Hoffman did not clarify the form it may seem, but he said that the changes would be necessary to fight the “ill -treatment or manipulation” that is on behalf of the platform.
