    Meh. It’s a required feature at this point. Someone has stalked me on lemmy too.

    At some point people started taking the internet beyond seriously. As if every random thing that’s mashed into the keyboard is tantamount to sworn affidavit than must be held up to scientific peer review.

      I’ve had someone dig through my comment history as well, the funny thing was everyone else in the comments was pointing out they were wrong.

      It creates far more issues than it benefits. Hiding enables bad actors much more so than not hiding does, as it allows them to more easily disguise their history of bad faith arguing.

      Yeah I’ve been stalked and death threatened myself, but only here. Hurray for .ml users, alienating the world one worker at a time!

        Yeah I never got death threats on Reddit but I’ve had several on Lemmy. The last time I admitted this someone asked, “well what did you say?” As though death threats are okay if you hold the wrong political opinion.
