I've been informed numerous times by legal counsel that any legal threat which doesn't come via certified mail can be ignored. I am not a lawyer; this does not constitute legal advice in any way.

Well, it depends on your instance. Some of them aren't popular, and some of them don't allow downvotes at all. But, over here, it's apparently hip to just click into a profile and downvote everything they've posted because they said something you disagree with. I won't name names, because that'd be just as bad, but you can look through my profile if you're really interested.
Typically, yes, but the brigaders have found their way here, so don't expect it to last long.
I can't imagine why. As much as I love the fediverse and what it stands for, it's barely a blip on anyone's radar at this point.
At some point, maybe. Back when I was running my own Mastodon instance, things were pretty much in this same state, but lots of other things have improved.
I mean, in Russia, anything is possible, but in any country that respects the rule of law, you're a citizen if you pay taxes.
The Telegraph is probably one of the blandest news sources on the web. I've never once heard them described as "extreme," in any sense.
Sure, I'm a dick, but the guy bemoaning the lack of a downvote button while calling my post "garbage" when all I'm doing is bitching about huffpo is straight-talk, right? How about you join him?
Noice.
Reported for brigading.
I had 130K+ karma, and after my eighth "permaban," I decided to stop fighting it. I pissed off a couple of power mods, and they began abusing the report function. Calling them out by name got me "unbanned" every single time, but I'm done at this point.... Reddit is dying, and I don't care.
