Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance's communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?

I've noticed a lot more harrassment too, and it seems to originate from piefed instances recently but that might just be confirmation bias.
