He wasn’t just a Reddit user, eventually BayArea415 had established a community around him on Discord, YouTube and Twitter. Then, he said he had to shut it off because of death threats and harassment towards his family.
I think that was a very bad call. By becoming public, his case would receive more notoriety and by returning to anonimity, BayArea415 then became actually more defenseless and quickly unknown again. I honestly believe that he was murdered or arrested, or something, but I have no evidence for his existing or non-existing.
Thanks for the context, yeah for your average internet “influencer” especially communists, isolating yourself will only do more harm. His story is a sad but necessary learning experience.
May I have some context, please

I think some people doxxed him and started harassing and threatening him so he did all of what you said.
So he was a user here? Man that’s sad
Rarely, he was most often a Reddit user. Very “accomplished” one, even, ranking a million or more karma.
Oh wow, how often are there stories like his on Reddit?

In late 2020, he had about 1.2 million karma and had been an user since 2012 on Reddit. Right now, his account was deleted. I have learned through this event that anonimity may actually make us an easier target.
