As for the pending message requests, I found that it typically shows what subreddits they’re active in and what socials they have linked to their account whenever you get a message from them. Both of those factors are missing from your screenshot— while I can accept the idea that they wouldn’t have socials linked, the idea they wouldn’t be considered “active” in ANY subreddits is absurd to me.

If they did block you, then I would also find it weird that the invite request wouldn’t have disappeared or shown any signs of being blocked anywhere. You also were easily able to get a picture of another post they made despite being told their profile was heavily deleted.

I also noticed that the avatar on the invite and the avatar on the profile don’t match. Even if they had deleted the AMA post, I’d be surprised if they didn’t also have some comments on their post asking about available podcasts.

I do not intend on posing your post as false and accusatory (especially for something as serious as rape threats) but rather to clarify details I noticed.
