Has anyone thought about building something like Twitter blacklists for Reddit so a group of mutually trusting subreddits can share their list of who they ban (for reasons not unique to their own rules) to a list then all ban that person/account proactively?

Doesn't matter because reddit accounts don't hold the same weight as twitter accounts. Making a new reddit account is trivial and you lose absolutely nothing.

is that not true of Twitter as well?

On Twitter you follow people, on a site like Reddit you subscribe to subreddits.

Switching between accounts on Twitter means your follows/followers are lost, switching accounts on Reddit doesn't lose you anything (unless you're subscrived to private subreddits or are a moderator for a subreddit)

Twitter sometimes requires a verified email and phone number, which I assume they globally ban when they can. Not sure how effectively they are, but they do at least something make throwaways harder than Reddit does.

Aren't echo chambers a more real problem than the always fuzzy "hate"?
