Be able to speak with Grindr Reps
2 weeks ago another person verbally attacked me saying I was going to get what I deserved “you old fucking faggot”! Then he said “you’re a dead man”. He was 4 miles away and his profile header was J and he was 24 I think. I think he blocked me because he and the comments disappeared. Last week he basically did the same thing saying I thought I was better than everyone, would get what I deserved and to enjoy my awakening. These are very serious crimes- hate crime, death threat, stalking,,etc. I reported it to you but have not heard anything back. As someone who was “fag bashed” by 5 guys when I was in college, it’s hard to believe this still goes in. Please advise on next steps.

I agree. I am constantly harassed and stalked while people hide behind their keyboards with the protection of easy anonymity. I have been to the police for going on like 6 maybe more years. I've been stalked down to the like 5-10 feet away which means they were on the property. I've received 2 death threats just this year. The only reasons I keep the app are just for the preservation of raw data and also because I have to investigate through snippets of behavior and language people use while harassing me.
I've also been relapsing a bit all due to the stress and where is the perfect place to find crystal meth fast and free? Grindr!!!!!!!
Otherwise I would not be on this app at all and Sniffies is worst with anonymity and the stalking. It's absolutely crazy.
There needs to be more legislation with safeguarding users of these platforms.
