At least go to the effort of making a newspaper/magazine letter collage message.

    Unfortunately, per some hundreds of thousands of armchair warriors there may be one complete psycho that’ll doxx you, stalk you, and call swat upon your address. You never know (but usually, this is not the case)

      True. There is a difference if random people on lemmy will threaten you because you dislike their favorite youtuber, or the youtuber themself will mention you in a video, tell their audience not to go after you but some will anyways

    What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

    As long as they don’t have personal information about you, it’s not that threatening. But otherwise it can be very harassing, and the topic shouldn’t be talked down.

      I wonder if celebrities have ever reported the navy seal copy pasta to police believing it’s a legitimate threat.

        I thought more of local politicians for example being threatened by right winged people with phrases like “we will hunt you” and similar, who then also form mobs in front of the victim’s private home.

        And also if some random internet weirdo watches your steps for years, trying to dox you, and uses any private info they find to defame you.

    I thought this was gonna be about the recent drama where the CEO of Tumblr threatened to sic the FBI on a lady after she said she hoped that he got hit by a car covered in hammers that then exploded into more hammers or whatever.
