Phreak mentioned that due to the increase of toxicity and death threats he will be quitting social media.

While I agree with some of the points about the ping system that the community has brought up before, harassing Rioters and others has been happening for so long and has been so severe, that i understand why phreak has come to this decision.

    They are just chronically online. Believe that reading through a million shit thrown at you is not a problem, afterall is just the internet right? Probably think the same thing when it comes to flaming

      As someone who is online a lot (online uni/work does that to you). I cannot fathom how people are so desensitised to how serious a mental state you have to be to send death threats as a joke or not. To try and get your way.

      Reading some responses here makes you realise that people just think it’s normal. All it takes is one dedicated and deranged individual to turn it into something else. Which ofc im hoping doesn’t happen.

      Getting something you want can be done without threats. And while phreak had some bad takes and made some bad decisions for a game. That’s not a reason to threaten a man’s life and not go a more…normal route.
