This is the absolute worst part of site culture, particularly on .world.
If you talk shit about another user or instance, then checking up on whether it’s actually true or not is not “following around and harassing” it’s just basic fact checking.
This is why I always say, “If someone says something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.” At the very least, it should be disregarded as hearsay. But somehow the culture is that people get to talk shit and if you check them on it you’re the bad guy. How anyone can stand that BS is beyond me.

Happening to be in the two threads is following people around? Pointing out when someone is wrong is harrasing them?
