Interesting… the comment specifically says “fediverse” - but you’re not the only person who seems to assume it’s about this individual thread.
edit: Even more interesting - the overwhelming ratio of douchevotes on this comment. I seriously doubt people would insist “Boston” or “at work” means “in this thread” - but for some reason the vast majority are adamant that “fediverse” means just this thread. Anybody have an idea why that is?
That means people’s stories about being followed were “clearly triggered” by thinking someone in this thread is following them, because the comments are in this thread - which makes no sense. The thread is about having scary gut feelings, not just having them offline.
What? I don’t see that being the case her. There are lots of really interesting stories you get from this kind of question

Because it’s in this thread. So clearly this thread triggered that thought. This isn’t a “what are your general issues with the fediverse”.
