This dude posts a wildly racist meme of Michelle Obama. I report the post. Funnily enough, the racist post is posted by the mod of dankmemes, dankchristianmemes and some other shit hole.

Said mod then starts sending abusive transphobic messages to me. Try to report the user. Nothing happens when I hit the button.

Shit like this is why Lemmy isn’t a viable alternative yet. We need to do better and be better.

    It’s all good! Not that the guy would have had an easy time finding me; I’m not inclined to share my “real life” info online and I rarely use the same username / contact info on more than one site. Heck, as I note… I’m probably just an incredibly advanced AI anyway. Bleep bloop.

        A French guy was stabbed to death once after a guy he beat in counter-strike was able to track him down.

          Possible and tragic, but that’s the address of the dentist in Finding Nemo. And I suck at counter strike. And I’m not French.

            The question is, is it real? Or are addresses in movies fake and cannot be traced to real places, like the 555 phone numbers?

              Google said it’s fake. I guess the producers wouldn’t have picked a real address. Or at least not a real address of a person. Police station would be a good pick.

                I may have given creeps police station addresses before. That and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

          This is explicitly why I avoid mixing my gaming/forums/Discord accounts with my IRL/social media accounts. People out there are lunatics.
