    It’s okay, they are a measured and non-violent individual that just wants Lemmy to be friendly for the “normies.”

    They’re a good guy™︎!

      so true

      I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg. All of it instigated and eggged on by another instance’s top admin.

      you’re the good guys wooooooo!

      go fediverse!!

        Right, because all of us personally sent harrassing messages, death threats, etc.

        See I don’t doubt that he received harrassment, hell I can even believe he got death threats. And that really sucks, I’m sorry he experienced that.

        Isn’t it convenient how there are no receipts of them though? Or any trace of the supposed dude egging people on to do it? It’s a diversion tactic that’s honestly becoming quite old.
