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.

@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??

@Karen5Lund @evacide @mattblaze
will you be in an undisclosed location until Sunday? -
@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.
@Bwacton @mattblaze Nothing that isn't instance-wide comes to mind if we're talking brigading and such.

@Karen5Lund @evacide @mattblaze
will you be in an undisclosed location until Sunday?@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...
