Unanswered Where do I report bullying via Reddit report feature?
Long story short, apparently someone disagreed with something I said (I'm not sure what, because I can't find anything in the last few days that hasn't been dealt with with aggressive downvotes and counterarguments in the replies like God and the Reddit founders intended) and reported me as a suicide risk to Reddit. (Could even be the weirdos I ghosted/blocked for crossing boundaries in my DMs, idk)
Now, my own mental health issues aside (for which I have plenty of irl support), this is annoying to me, because there's no way to respond to the notification with all the hotlines to let the backend teams know this feature is being abused by petty bullies. The report doesn't affect me, but I'd prefer the bully to be on record as a bully instead of an anonymous troll hiding behind Reddit's report feature. This time, it's me, water off a duck's back. Next time, it's someone who will absolutely take that personally.
I went to r/help but because I used certain keywords to describe the situation that made it so I couldn't hit post on there, I came here to figure out what to do, where to go, who to ask, etc. If not a subreddit, what else can I do, if anything at all? I know this kind of bullying isn't new, but I also don't know what to do about it.
Thanks for your time and advice!
