You can make a new account (possibly on a different instance) and make sure it doesn't have any connections to your current account
post
Gather evidence, talk to the admins of your instance, and the admins of the instance of the abuser. The best option is to get their account banned or at least blocked at the instance level
Of course, don't engage with them, it might be best just to block them and they'll get bored and go away
+1 for “contact admins.”
This isn’t Reddit, they are human beings you can reach.
Don’t let the stalker “win” by switching accounts. If you do that, just do it temporarily; they’ll get bored after a while. Then come back to this account.
I'd probably just ignore him and move on. If he keeps bugging you, maybe try asking admins of your instance for help?
I didn’t k ow we had reach enough people to not notice this kind of thing on Lemmy.
I have weirdo trying to say I made a bomb threat to flag the auto-mod system
Link or it didn’t happen.
what do you think is the best way to avoid stalking?
Report them.
Why does this person need to prove they’re being harassed? Especially when they’re not even calling out the specific user.
They don’t have to prove it, and I don’t have to believe it without evidence.
Why does your belief matter here?
Because crybullying & swatting are a thing, so as a lemmy.ml admin, I’m not going to take moderation actions based on unsubstantiated claims.
As an admin, you should probably work on understanding the difference between someone asking the community for advice and someone reaching out to you directly as an admin.
Nobody asked for you to do that, they asked for your advice, which you provided.
