They’re commenting on the text that I made to two rounds of post trying to help a friend escape an abusive relationship. They’re quite angry about it and, in yelling at me for spamming it, has resorted to spamming the same comment over and over again on every post I’ve made.

Looks like you did manage to help them though - so just ignore the troll.
FWIW I’d only seen one of your posts. Glad to see your friend has a a way out.

Oh I’ve been around on lemmy for a couple years now and trolls like that aren’t exactly a threat. I don’t mean to sound full of myself, but I just post way too often for them to even noticed anymore. I usually get sent screenshots or links on Matrix/Discord like “LOL did you see this?” to which I definitely did not. Was just hard to ignore every single post having a single comment on it, something that isn’t really that typical for Lemmy. Especially not that quickly. I keep an eye on general trends of things. If people don’t like a thing I stop posting the thing. But individual children screaming into the night? Meh. All I see in my head is just a giant filter with [REDDITOR] written over it half the time.
But.
Even if I did give the remotest of a shit about a toddler, I don’t care about this circumstance. I post a lot and I made a deal to myself that I’d take two rounds of posting and add in a link to Aeronmelons post. He made it a week ago and didn’t get a ton of attention. That combined with a ko-fi issue meant that things weren’t super awesome for him. So I wanted to boost it again a little bit. Bump the thread. He’s going through hell right now and I went through something similar but far less brutal. I’ll do a lot for my friends and this? Isn’t much. So even if I did care about people getting angry at me on the internet, I don’t care when it means that there is a chance to help him. WELL worth the trade off, as far as I’m concerned. I’d gladly do it again.
Doing nothing is easier and might make people happier but doesn’t get anything done. If I piss off a few people then oh well. I’m sorry for that. Hope they forgive me. But I’m not sorry I did it.

I think maybe people sometimes forget the other posters are people, and (I see this way too often) get offended if you break internet etiquette or their own sense of ‘how to behave’ - in reaching out and trying to make - or help - genuine connections.
In short, taking themselves online too seriously.
