No, people are doxxing, harassing, and attacking users and driving them off the site and off other social media sites. An unfounded rumor drove the xkit guy off tumblr permanently.
Doxxing is some serious stuff and far worse than banning a user from a forum or website.
But unfounded rumors have drove a lot of people off sites and off fandom pre-tumblr days as well, like a lot. People have shut down their websites, deleted livejournals, fanfiction.net, myspaces even, and have left certain fandoms for years, and or were drove off permanently as well way before tumblr was a thing. I'm not just talking about banning a user from a forum or websites. People have gotten their whole website taken down, people have been hacked and like I said, accused of real life delinquency as well. Fandom has always been incredibly crazy. I just don't think Tumblr is ruining things when it was like that beforehand anyways.
No one's denying that stuff was bad pre-tumblr, but if you're the airt, you said what happened on tumblr was more mild than pre-tumblr.
Doxxing is much more serious than getting an entire website taken down. It's someone hacking and posting personal, identifiable information on the internet - personal addresses, ID numbers, etc. - for people do with as they wish. There's a difference between being driven off fandom sites because fandom has a bug up their ass and having someone search hack your personal info and use it to disrupt your real life.
