So Kramnik likes to engage in mobbing? What does the community say about this?
2 comments

The chess community is generally against it, though they're also laughing at Kramnik for his absurd his behaviour is. I'd be surprised if Kramnik's behaviour is a major contributing factor (given we don't know anything about Danya's cause of death), but if it is, I would hope he finds himself shunned from the community at a minimum.

As it is, he's already behaved in awful ways: accusing children of cheating without evidence, for example, and effectively doxxing them.

It’s internet drama, surely counter (and counter-counter)-mobs are already forming. The fans do this regardless of the wishes of the influencer.
