At least go to the effort of making a newspaper/magazine letter collage message.

Unfortunately, per some hundreds of thousands of armchair warriors there may be one complete psycho that'll doxx you, stalk you, and call swat upon your address. You never know (but usually, this is not the case)

Hello SSSniperwolf.

True. There is a difference if random people on lemmy will threaten you because you dislike their favorite youtuber, or the youtuber themself will mention you in a video, tell their audience not to go after you but some will anyways

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 26 points 1 year ago

That's depend on which online service you received the threats. Call of Duty? I sleep. LinkedIn?! Real shit

You are so done little guy

yawn let me guess you have over three hundred confirmed kills?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

I can confirm these kills as an independent observer

Why yes I do in fact (In Arma)

As long as they don't have personal information about you, it's not that threatening. But otherwise it can be very harassing, and the topic shouldn't be talked down.

I wonder if celebrities have ever reported the navy seal copy pasta to police believing it’s a legitimate threat.

[–] Speiser0@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I thought more of local politicians for example being threatened by right winged people with phrases like "we will hunt you" and similar, who then also form mobs in front of the victim's private home.

And also if some random internet weirdo watches your steps for years, trying to dox you, and uses any private info they find to defame you.

I thought this was gonna be about the recent drama where the CEO of Tumblr threatened to sic the FBI on a lady after she said she hoped that he got hit by a car covered in hammers that then exploded into more hammers or whatever.

My average reaction to my Discord DMs and Reddit comment.

[–] theDutchBrother@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I happened to be on Percocet when I got threatened as well.

What if the threat comes from Putin?

If I die, I die.
