Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance’s communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?

    It happens. A very highly intelligent user will occasionally post something in a lot of communities and gets a rise out of downvotes, annoyed comments, and blocks. It’s annoying but that is often the nature of the internet. Report, block, and move on.

    It’s only the very highly intelligent users who do this. So it doesn’t happen a lot.

    Don’t engage with anybody you don’t know well on DMs. And if some other very highly intelligent person goes to the effort of sending you abuse via DM, take pride that you really got under their skin. Ignore it if you can.

      in Fediverse, the trolls are the reporters, blockers, indignant ones…

      “oh, you talked with ChatGPT” BLOCK

      “oh, you use cryptos” BLOCK

      “oh, you said that in left wing there are thieves” BLOCK

      “oh, you don’t know what is queer” BLOCK
