Greetings fellow bloggers! I hope everyone is well and doing well.
Today I am going to be posting about a fellow blogger Dinky Diary
She has been bullied by another blogger on WordPress itself and was advised to delete her old blog.
I find it sad and wrong that someone would just bully another blogger for unknowable reasons. Yes, we do have our own opinions but we should be open-minded and try to see across the point, instead of getting into petty arguments and fights over things.
So here I am recommending you all to go check out her new/other blog Dinky Diary
I love her posts on her first blog but I am sure her posts will now be much better. Nobody deserves to be bullied no matter what the reason is.
I wish her all the best and good luck on her blogging journey!

That’s too bad. I don’t like to hear these stories when it comes to writing. Or anything really. Did wordpress really suggest she close her old page?

I know, we try to find a platform to express ourselves on but we get shut down due to the negativity around us. Yes, and her parents advised her to do the same. It is a pity because her posts are really cool 🙂

Seems like there would be other ways. They don’t provide much support in these matters I’ve found.

We are all unique and have a different prospective about our lives. I would say that people who don’t respect that aren’t respecting their own individuality.
Every blogger here has every right to say what they feel there is no right or wrong. If someone thinks that only his/her thoughts are right then he’s in the wrong place.
I too had a similar experience, it did hurt but I told him to follow his thoughts and I’ll keep mine. He ignores my blog now, but I don’t care. Its better to have few honest followers than a hundred opportunistic ones.
And it really very humble of you Rebecca to come out in support of your friend. She’s blessed to have your support!
Have a wonderful time!😊

I 100% agree with you Jothish. I myself was shocked that the person bullying this indivdual is herself so young, younger than me. Is bullying really all some can do? I am so sorry you had to have gone through that experience, it isn’t something a person deserves. You are so sweet Jothish. For the short period that I have known you, you too are a true great support and amazing friend 🙂

I’ve said this before and I’m saying it again, I am really fortunate to find you. I don’t know how much of that praise I deserve but it really feels special.
It’s surprising to hear that the person was a she and younger than you(…Isn’t that too young!😋)

You are too kind 😊 you deserve more than me, trust me.
It is shocking! Young individuals should be focusing on their studies and writing good things and on top of that encouraging others not bringing them down.

I always saw wordpress as a really caring platform, it’s just a place for people to express themselves and other people to say if they agree (or disagree, but doing so in a positive way) and it’s horrible to hear that some people are mistreating others.

I strongly agree with you. I too found this platform really supportive in so many ways towards me, but hearing that another blogger was getting hate I didn’t understand why. It is really sad, because we all have our opinions to share and we shouldn’t be criticized in a rude matter.

Dinky Diary – I find the best thing to do is always hold comments for moderation by yourself, before allowing them to be published on your blog, or deleted. Also, you can block someone from your blog by using their email address. This should avoid any further harassment. You can also go private, and only allow people to follow you that you approve of.
I’m sorry this happened to you, but don’t give up. Most of us here in WP land are nice people – such as Thoughts in Life who is supporting you here. 🙂

That is sick… I’m sorry your friend had to go through that 😦 The book community is great but it can also be a a very toxic place sometimes. Mostly because of certain individuals who go out of their way to make others miserable. Unfortunately, there’s little that can be done in such cases except block the person and warn others about it. Cyberbullying is a real thing and we all need to stick together and fight it.
I’ll go check out her new blog now 🙂

I strongly agree with you! I guess nowadays cyber bullying can be done because everyone is hiding behind an online avatar. I don’t think a person would really say bad things with their own identities. What do you think?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes, definitely. Anonymity gives people the confidence to do their worst since they know they won’t get caught and therefore won’t suffer the consequences of their actions.
Also, bullies usually lack courage so when confronted face to face or when realization hits them that they might be in disadvantage, they will step back immediately. That’s not possible online, so they get especially daring.

You are correct! That is the unfortunate difference between online and offline. Online you can’t be stopped offline you get scared or caught

That’s very sad to hear, no one should be bullied regardless of who, what, where and why.
However I would encourage her to keep her old blog and not allow bullies to change her blog because maybe that’s what they want, sometimes jealousy can play a roll.
Thank you for sharing I’ll sure check her blog.
