I was talking with a girl. Absolutely just talking, nothing else, not trying to get anywhere with her. Still got a “I’ll kill ya” from a guy I did not know, who supposedly was her boyfriend.
Didn’t turn out well. I learned not much later that she kicked him out for being permanently jealous.

I wrote a “this is more of the same but with minor tweaks and window dressing” review of a CoD game in like 2010/11
Nobody ever had strong enough feelings for me to either send me love letter or death threats
Scoring more goals than them in Rocket League
My biological brother: for basicly all the time when i argue against him and prove him wrong. Last time: for showing him with litteral math that salt water does not take longer to boil!
I had closed the gate to my checkout, turned out the light, wiped everything down, took my till out and had walked away a bit when I saw a customer start loading his groceries on the now-abandoned belt.
i walked back to try to help by simply saying, “Sorry man, that checkout is closed, you’ll have to go a few up to get through.”
I went upstairs, counted my till and posted my results, got my stuff and went to leave.
Suddenly my bosses are on me checking if I’m okay, and I’m being escorted off-site by security for my safety.
Apparently the man was not appreciative, went to the managers and told them he was going to wait for me outside so he could run me over…
I made a PR/commit to to a foss android kernel for ‘tap to wake’ ported from fork to another model. I fully attributed where and who and complied with the GPL. The guy lost his shit and threatened my very existence, over around 20 lines of code.
Is it common for people to get death threats?
Or at least get enough that you can start ranking them by category?
Maybe I’m just lucky.
Work isp tech support for a spell, you’ll catch up.
I’ll kill you for this comment.
Rhynoplaz: The most ridiculous - this guy/girl threatened to kill me one time on Lemmy because I asked if people get death threats often.
If you have any project or product you made public facing that someone could remotely perceive as partisan or biased, you’re likely to get at least one in your life.
Doesn’t make it okay, but it seems inevitable.
Not necessarily. Perhaps I’ve been lucky. I’ve been in charge of UX for very large software, and am an author. My identity has been very public since the late 90s.
I’ve had very vitriolic (and sometimes graphic) DMs and emails, but no death threats. Like I said, I guess I’ve been lucky.
I once had a conversation about economics with a different person. Just something clicked in some other guy and sent them down a spiral.

I was working for an ISP and sent one of our customers a warning about harassing people via email. He switched to me instead. It escalated up the chain to my manager’s manager, who called the customer’s dad because he was 14. Dad got him under control, because the alternative was to lose his phone service for 12 months.
A year later, the kid contacted me again to say I should give him a job, because I’m an incompetent fuck and users shouldn’t have to put up with me. Would you be surprised to learn we didn’t hire him?
Every few years I stalk his blog to see what he’s been up to. There’s usually a couple more arrests to add to the tally, but like always they weren’t his fault, because someone provoked him!
I must ask. Please post his blog link.
Wouldn’t that be doxxing?
Facebook: Got comments from by wife’s brother and his friends about God’s blessing and such being responsible for her pregnancy.
“It’s 2013. We have a pretty solid handle on how a woman gets pregnant, and there’s no god in the explanation.”
Of my fuck they exploded. “I’ll fucking kill you!” “Best not come back to this town!” So it goes.
Then why does she scream ‘oh my god!!! Jesus! Yes yes!!! Oh my fucking god!!!’ when we’re working on making her pregnant?
Family gatherings must be something.
I was openly an atheist in highschool (early 2000s). Death threats weren’t sent, they were spoken to my face
I came to say this too. Such pious folks, willing to kill for their gods
Gods who specifically said ‘blessed are the peace-makers’, no less.
Well, obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturer of dairy products.
I’ve never had any death threats sent to me lol. From the title of your post, it sounds like you get them regularly??
