anyone dealt with hate online?

i experienced my first wave of haters (a jealous competitor tweeted about us 😅) - some were terrible but my favorites ones called my app “a parody” and that i’m an “unserious sunshine barbie”. i’ve processed everything and am ok, but curious how you all deal with it?

thank you! definitely took some time to process but you’re right! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I know easier said than done but what's helped me is realizing mean spirited comments like that says more about that person than anything about yourself / what you're doing so just ignore, mute, etc

Go to war with them - rage and making an enemy is very hepful in building

thanks for chiming in! 🫶🏼

It’s part of the journey, and like a lot of other folks said, it probably means you’re doing something right

Reminds me of “winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners”

haha thank you! good values to live by 😆

better to be underestimated now and let themselves feel bad about it later 😌

Sorry to hear you’re going through that. You clearly live rent free in their head 🤪

One of our core values is that we *never* underestimate our competitor. This keeps us on our toes too. 

Your competitor doesn’t hold these values, so don’t worry about them. They’re too busy hating and not building 💫

Cofounder @zurf 🏄🏻‍. I vibe. I own. Also enjoy nature, music and movies.

haha thank you! definitely did bring in new users 😅

best is to not respond, free marketing etc. but sometimes you have to, like recent Brex vs Ramp

They gave you free advertising. Don’t get involved. Stay professional. Focus on your users.

'villainess' doesn't do justice to my complexity, and only reveals your simplicity 

I definitely did that too, was just a bit rough the first time

thank you so much!!

often!

i give space to myself to deal with the immediate emotional reaction, and after that just realize that it's far easier to critique than it is to build and not give them any of my precious attention or oxygen

Good to look at things that way, I know that it’s just the beginning. Thank you for chiming in 🫶🏼

It’s just the beginning. I’ve learned that those that spew hate aren’t targeting you specifically.

They’re folks that will target literally everyone. Insane pattern.

Once I learned that, I just felt sorry for those spewing hate. It’s not you, it’s them.

After a few times it becomes obvious the whole cycle of anger is a waste of energy and time.

I don’t know if there’s a shortcut.

There’s nothing more satisfying than taking an attack and coming out in a better position on the other side. 

Becoming the “unserious sunshine Barbie” and leading your industry is the most entertaining outcome (but will def draw more criticism by grumps)

Also I have no skin in this game so keep that in mind

Sorry to hear you’re going through that, but ultimately it means you’re probably doing something right. 

I echo the other sentiments of either ignoring it or leaning into it to show confidence (depends on how your industry and how much you like conflict)

But seriously…

Lol I was canceled on Twitter a while ago.

It sucks but you get over it
