I only turn off anon comments on DW during a harassment surge; I LIKE hearing from randos usually! Most of them are totally well behaved.

Now TABLING events are exclusively advertising through crap like Instagram. I had to chase a member of con staff down in person and ask “no seriously I cannot be on those platforms due to harassment, HOW DO I KNOW WHEN YOUR TABLES ARE OPEN?!” They don’t even put it up on their websites anymore!
