    Unsolicited advice to “just block and move on”, no matter how well intentioned, is not helpful or actionable for someone who’s the target of organized or persistent harassment. It’s ultimately just a dismissal, “shut up about your problems” couched in slightly more polite language.

      @mattblaze is there anything the community can do about it? I’m still amazed that anyone finds anything to harass you for. I love your explanations of the inspiration for your photos.

        @mattblaze it's also largely unhelpful for the rest of us. What if I want to fight?

          @mattblaze would you turn on a feature like "only allow followers to interact with my post/posts"?

            @mattblaze There is a big divide on social media between the people who have a folder full of screenshots labeled "Death Threats (personal)" and people who do not.

              @evacide @mattblaze Fortunately I am one of those who has never received a direct death threat online. Some other abuse, but not that.

              I do wish that before I quit Twitter I'd saved that tweet from a guy who said I would die exactly five years after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. My anniversary is Saturday.

                @mattblaze Can I apply this to governments and corporations who do the persistent harassing too??

                    @Bwacton @mattblaze Nothing that isn't instance-wide comes to mind if we're talking brigading and such.

                      @ozdreaming @evacide @mattblaze No, I'll be going about my normal life. I even have plans on my calendar for next week, in case the automatic death schedule thing is five years from the second dose.

                      And I really don't believe I'm gonna die. Mostly I wish I could contact that guy on Twitter to tell him I'm still alive.

                        @Karen5Lund @ozdreaming @evacide He's probably already dead from an OD of horse dewormer.

                          @Karen5Lund joke's on him, we already died in 2020 and are now in fact in hell...
