I guess people must be reporting my posts but I’m not really getting why. Is this some kind of alternative to shit talking that redditors do now? it doesn’t give me any other information so I don’t know who keeps sending them or why. Any idea what’s up?

Yeah, it’s basically a way to get around most mods, by sending a direct message to you, anonymously, that implies that you are mentally ill and probably should be kept under watch. It’s a fun little way for the average nerdling to feel like they’re “sticking it to the tankies” or w/e they have you labeled as.

Yes. It’s a way for them to tell you to kill yourself without getting banned. Awesome website

Copy the direct link to the message and then paste it into the form it links (which is a blank form, because making the link take an argument with the message’s own ID was apparently too much for their devs to include) and report it as harassment. Abusing that system to harass people is something the admins do actually act on.

This is quite literally “kys” in the most reddit way possible

Reddit is a silly place where the better your posting is the more veiled death threats you receive
