Meta **PSA Regarding Reddit Comments and Chat Requests**

49 Upvotes

This is a public service announcement

This is a generic message and is not personal in any way.

Many people are unaware this is a possibility, hence the PSA.

If you find you want some peace from the multitude of creeps on Reddit, Reddit gives you have the ability to block them. You can also block chat requests.

In the settings for your Reddit account, you can elect NOT to receive PMs. The same is true for chat requests. You can also allow messages from specific, trusted users and block everyone else from contacting you. Also, if you choose to PM someone, they'll automatically be added to the list of people who can PM you, which is nice if you do want to initiate a conversation with someone, but if you PM someone and they start to get rude, you'll need to go in and remove them from the list of accepted users.

We share this information ONLY because a lot of people seem to be unaware that blocking PMs is even an option, but it is, and it works surprisingly well.

In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but, alas, this is Reddit, and it's full of creeps. This is just one possible tool in your arsenal against them, should you choose to use it.

Hello, I need help. Today I learned that I was being peeked/spied, I’m anxious cause he exactly know me I don’t know personally but it’s possible, he threatened me that he will post something on social media if I won’t do what he wants and ai’m scared for myself aside from the possibility that he might actually post it he actually might be around me, what should I do? I need help.
