Tbh the blacklist and block tools are a god-send because I can literally remove tags and people that I just don't want to see so I've never had a hard time avoiding hate. I either block them or just put the tag in the filter and job-done, and like you I don't go looking for hate in the first place(I never have, even back on forums and LJ).

Now I won't claim that tubmlr fantastic, because it's really not. It's broken in a lot of ways, and the culture on there is definitely scary as shit in places, but it allows you to fully cultivate your dash and I have never gotten a single bit of anon-hate or nasty messages over things I like.

As opposed to LJ where a friend of mine got hate-mail for two solid months because she wrote for the 'wrong ship', and due to an ex-fandom friend name-dropping me in a fight they were having I got constant hate-messages daily until I deleted my account and started over.

The harassment and doxxing is out of line though and I do wish there were actual ways to punish the perpetrators of that.

I think the prevalence of doxxing is the actual change, and it's really awful and toxic. But given that it's sprouted up across the internet as a whole, I wonder if the only reason it wasn't there before is because we were all much more circumspect about our identities in the old days.

I think that's part of it certainly, people are a lot more frivolous with the personal information they share online(which just boggles my mind, I never tell people my real name and I'll never post pictures of myself either).

Now this doesn't make the people doxxing free of blame, they're still the shitheads in this situation, but modern internet culture I think does aid towards how common-place and almost acceptable it's become.
