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?
This seems to be an unpopular opinion but i personally had someone block me for presumably being too friendly and sincere, after an initial comment where i had agreed with them and defended their downvoted comment.
A second person blocked me after i pointed out that the person they where calling ai/a bot is in fact a well loved moderator of the community they tried to be a part of and they where simply misreading the room.
I don’t really mind that people remove themselves but it does worry me that tolerance of others have gotten so low that ideologically similar people will label each other enemies based on very basic misunderstandings of topics they agree about.
