I have weirdo trying to say I made a bomb threat to flag the auto-mod system. Besides blocking him, what do you think is the best way to avoid stalking? I’d prefer to stay on the platform and not let gross dudes like that win by silencing me. I’m pretty sure it’s just a random teenager from Australia. I mostly talk about animals and welfare on my account.

Edit: my account history is my evidence.

    You can make a new account (possibly on a different instance) and make sure it doesn’t have any connections to your current account

      Feels like giving the stalker what they want. Why does OP have to erase their identity here just because of some asshole?

        I didn’t say they have to do it; I’m just sharing what I would do.

        I consider my Lemmy identity basically disposable so it wouldn’t be a very drastic move for me. It’s not like we have followers or karma or anything on here aside from a comment history.

        What’s your idea?

          Sure. I didnt mean ‘have to’ as in you forcing OP, more like in a general sense, ‘why do people using despicable methods get what they want’.
