    I've been on Twitter for 12 years. No death threats, despite having opinions on subjects as likely to bring out the mad as Star Wars, Batman, and my career. My wife has had actual death threats in that time. She's reported one to the police, and sighed and let the others go. https://twitter.com/superladkid/status/1230181375115919361 …

        Thank you. Voices of experience (rather than 'here's my view of the world' are needed so badly) Thank you.

        I remember when a Star Wars actor said he'd gotten death threats online my gut reaction was "Big whoop who hasn't" and that gave me pause.

        I Tweet about rugby, mostly, occasionally about politics. I've received numerous threats of abuse, mostly violently sexual. Fortunately no death threats. My male partner also Tweets about rugby and has never received any violent sexual abuse threats. Funny, that.

        I have opinions about tech and tooling - "fv<king die you mad b1tch" is as bad as it has gotten. They misspelled b1tch. Am a mad keen rugby fan but would not dare tweet about it (2 often) as not keen to open up another avenue of abuse. Sh1tty, isn't it? Lots of love from me to u

        Been on social media advocating against Anti-vaxxers and other assorted "touchy" subjects and never had one. The women I've been advocating with on the other hand. Death threats. Rape threats. Threats to harm family. So on and so forth.
