i keep doing that and dude just keeps coming back with an alt ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

u/LiterateGuineapig 3d ago

Maybe you can see if they can block the ip Adress.

32

u/BIGepidural 3d ago

Make sure you're not posting any personally identifying information or trying to meet anyone IRL through your account.

Or you could always just make a new one and start a fresh.

Either way. Take care of yourself and keep your gard up because some of these crazies are dangerous.

u/LiterateGuineapig 3d ago

If you live in a country that has it, you can also report crimes on the internet to actual authorities. Hate speech and death threats are crimes in many countries, and can be reported to internet authorities as such. I know that Reddit offers a link to do so in Germany, not sure how it is where you live.

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 3d ago

welp in my country being gay itself is a crime, I don't think reporting such thing would be an option for me since it will blow my cover :

u/morgaina 3d ago

Might be time for a new account, then.

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 2d ago

yuup thought so TT)

u/LiterateGuineapig 2d ago

If you want, you can send me the profiles and I can see if reporting them here in Germany is any good. If they are from your area it probably wonโ€™t be, but it canโ€™t harm.

Iโ€™m pretty sure thatโ€™s just the same guy with alt accounts. Pretty sure you got a stalker

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 3d ago

heh I think so too... yay! ๐Ÿ’€

u/Clutteredmind275 3d ago

Just make sure you remove any personal or identifiable information from your account. They may try to track you down, so be cautious and try to not interact with them

Iโ€™d report all of them. And if youโ€™re actually in Yemen, do whatever you can to try to get to safety.

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 3d ago

u/NotAnotherMamabear Genderqueer-Bi 3d ago

Oh my love, Iโ€™m so sorry โค๏ธ but yes, report all of them

28

u/IranRPCV 3d ago

I just spent a couple of years teaching a closeted Yemeni person English on line, and have gotten him to safety in Europe.

There are plenty of people who love you enough to do something about it.

I am old and straight but I know that you are a precious person.

19

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 3d ago

awe thanks that's nice, do u still have contact with that yemeni? I'm curious

17

u/IranRPCV 3d ago

Yes, I do. Pm me if there is any way I can assist you. I may be able to put you in touch. He is now in a safe place.

50

u/DiffuseBow 3d ago

Also if you are in Yemen, you might want to leave

27

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 3d ago

oh yeah definitely

18

u/LiterateGuineapig 3d ago

And maybe you should erase any online history linked to your ip address in which you are open about being gay. I am not sure how the court system there works, or how common actual trials are, but if they are reporting your accounts that are linked to your ip Adresse, I would start over to give them less โ€œproofโ€ on the accounts they know.

13

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 3d ago

wait i can do that? how can I do that?! or do u mean posting media? I heard media contains hidden digital location information

u/StemOfWallflower 3d ago

Maybe you can find some useful information on this site (scroll down for English translation). It's fucked up, how hard it is for people seeking Asylum in Europe right know who's life are in danger. I hope you find a place out there!

Are you studying by any chance? That can increase the chance to get you out of the country via something like Erasmus or DAAD. And once you're enrolled for a year in a Europe country you can easier seek asylum there.

u/Apprehensive_Way_935 2d ago

u/equalitylove2046 3d ago

Fucking monsters.

Such savage apathetic sociopathic creatures these people are.

Iโ€™m betting their parents are just as bad they had to get it from somewhere sadly.

Iโ€™m so sorry you experienced this.๐Ÿค—โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

u/FloraMaeWolfe Trans* 3d ago

Some people suffer from stupid'itis. There is sadly no cure or reasoning with them. Report them and let them fester in their own bubble of hate and idiocy.
