I have only ever seen the “Harm prevention” report used exclusively for the purpose of harassment on Reddit. I’m talking like 99.99999% of the time. Everything about that: from the corporate flavored, performative bullshit to the superficially empathetic, and conspicuously caring, two-faced nature of the whole thing really pisses me off. I would prefer if they were just honest about not giving a fuck, frankly.
I think it’s because people know that those who really need that kind of help aren’t going to benefit from some corporate approved form “we care!” message.
So the people who use it are either the “wants to be helpful but is very bad at determining who needs help and how to help” type or the trolling type.
