Every major sub- reddit-logo is getting hit with Reddit Cares automated messages because of 's pathetic site moderation. I only read the NBA posts, so I've been seeing it lead to escalations in fights between people who think that Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers fans are reaching new levels of depravity. But a search shows similar activity in other major subreddits, and everyone seems to think that their eric-andre controversial and brave posts about Drake or Eurovision or stonks-down are putting targets on their backs.

Reddit cares has always been nothing but a harassment tool

I blocked it the very first time it appeared on my screen.

Same. I see people on the threads OP linked here saying you can report the people "misusing" it, but that would mean 1. relying on reddit admins to not be worthless and 2. believing that harassment isn't the actual function of the bot.
