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?

If you have a bit of time, please collect evidence of when that targeting and harassment happens. I've already seen a few accounts using low-quality /c/MoG posts to try and demonize .ml, lemmygrad and hexbear so it's useful to have a post or posts to point to showing that it's a harassment circlejerk, not the credible spectators they pretend to be.

The ones that need to hear it will ignore it or just say it's from ml so can be ignored :(

Wow... that... I have no words for that. That is beyond despicable. I had a feeling things were bad when I saw the governance thread but that's way way worse than I thought.

Exhibit what 200 of why that comm shouldn't be used by anyone and commentors there are immediately suspicious
