There's this particular brand of online abuse I see, where *seemingly* unrelated people all have one very specific, very unique, and very obvious tell that they all are either the same person or from the same small group of people.

Honestly, I have to wonder just how much abuse is actually concentrated in a few small groups of terminally online people who make it their pastime to create random sockpuppets and continuously attack the same person. The Fediverse has also made this pretty clear: I see many abusers of a given slant all end up on the same bad instances (or random one-off instances for the techie type who set up their own).

If you are or have been the target of this brand of abuse, with similar takes coming from a bunch of seemingly unrelated accounts, remember that. There's a good chance it's all the same 2 people, or the same small group chat of haters, whose heads you live in rent-free to the point they spend their time creating alts instead of doing something productive with their lives.
