    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.

        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.
