Who of you is impotent? (Warning: explicit language):
Stopping the App? <bleep> you and your girlfriend you Sick child <bleep>. I know where you live and i'll come and Hurt you!
Such threats are likely illegal in your country and others too and if you want, you could report it to the police. The idiots who write such threats feel safe to do without consequences. But if they can be traced back it's going to be expensive for them and suddenly they turn to crybabies. Some people are just sick. Don't let them penetrate you, that's their sole goal to get into your mind.
I haven't received such threats, so can't really say what that must feel like. To imagine it is not the same. All I know is, I wouldn't let them go away with this and I would file a police case. I live in Germany and there is some raise of awareness against hate speech and police and justice actually doing something against it. Maybe only a very small percentage of cases will be tracked down and the haters punished. But it will likely show haters that they might not go away with such threats.
I picked today a few messages for illustration purposes. This kind of messages might seem to be related to the moment, and there are of course more than usual, and they are also harsher than usual, but this is what I mean by daily hate email, going on for years already.
Those who are impulsive to throw harsh or even worser words at you, don't understand that you are not their dev slave. They don't understand that they still can access the app from the Play Store even when now new users can't see it anymore there. They just don't understand a lot of things and frankly Marcel, you shouldn't care so much about such jerks.
From the bottom of my happy FE Pro user's heart I wish you could apply some sort of vigorous filter mechanism for your own peace of mind: worse threats are reported to the police, everything else just ignore and delete. Get that bullsh*t off your head and mindset.
While caring for my girlfriend I receive a series of death threats :-(
I repeat: report those cases to the police if you want to, maybe one of them will be tracked down and prosecuted accordingly. Otherwise, ignore and delete. Those ill-minded jerks just want to get into your head. Don't let them... (yeah, I know, easier said then done, but as a developer you need to implement defense walls against such things, because I'd assume that every dev gets such sh*t, regardless of what they do).
Not sure if I can reflect your personal frustration from such bad things, but my point is that one should not let those bad things come close to your own core.
Even when now bad comments rise due to the new situation, as long as the majority of comments are OK or even nice, you can feel proud of your (software) babies. Ignore the rants, the jerks, the bullshit: don't feed the trolls! Never feed the trolls! If you don't let them to your core, they have NO power over you!
