      Not really no. But in the moment meant when it leads to followers roaming your front door and stuff. I wish innocent fans understand the implications of a stranger waiting for you to wake up.

        They’re often far from innocent. I know someone, an honest, well-known person in a controversial field, who has been cyber-stalked by several conspiracy whackjobs who came to his door and made death threats. He had to hire 24/7 security.

          Back when I was a Reddit moderator, somebody posted literal child pornography on our casual conversation subreddit. It got caught by AutoModerator, but I gave him the final ban, and Reddit’s admins purged the account soon after.

          Guess who stalked me for three years.
