This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

Lemmy has the most death threats per user of any social media I've ever used. It's kind of crazy. I guess that's why user numbers keep trending down. Monthly active users are down 21% on July last year.
You don't even know what a threat is.
Yeah I have to say the political environment here is getting more and more exhausting as time goes on. Lemmy is developing a 4chan-esque reputation that will keep it from ever really taking off.
Kind of a bummer.
“Lemmy is politically hostile”
receives downvotes, insults, and death theats
Yeah…..
Generally speaking, the idea isn't to yell at the shitlibs unless they're saying shitlib things. When they're being polite enough you just hit them with history.
insert memes of starving communist societies
Mhmm. Because the British Empire didn't repeatedly use artificial famines as a weapon, and the American-caused Great Depression and breadlines aren't synonymous.
Because no one starves, or is homeless, right now, in America. Because Republicans aren't so caught up in Supply Side Jesus they literally want children to go hungry if their parents can't afford a school lunch.
I'll give you this, though. Blind ideological thinking is dangerous.
Ignoring reality, history, and science, the way you have to to pretend capitalism is a good thing, or to create Lysenkoism, just never works out.
You either starve a million people or burn the world to death.
Dude what is it with this style of arguing of listing off a bunch of things I never said? Like you’re creating this entire argument, all by yourself, then grandstanding like you’re making some kind of important statement.
Step off your soap box buddy
Lol, the rank hypocrisy.
Get in the ditch with the other guy, shitlib.
Right , right. Hearts and minds buddy.
Can't take the heat, don't be a hypocrite ignoring anything convenient to your worldview and then whining when someone provides direct counter points.
But once you do that, most people either stop being liberals or at least head over to social democracy land.
Counterpoints to what

For the purposes of this thread, I’m a commenter on Lemmy who’s tired of overtly hostile users harassing anyone who doesn’t align with their chosen stance.
No, youre just a dick that has to pick a fight in every conversation you have like it’s your only personality trait. And exactly the type of user that’s killing communities all over Lemmy.
