They won't leave me alone
I recently lost the majority of my friends due to a lie/rumour(?), but I won't get on that right now. I'm afraid of making new friends now because one of them continues to follow me around from server to server and either shows others my vents or tell others in the new server I'm an emotional abuser and can't be trusted. Blocking can only do so much and I don't know what to do.

My long two cents... don't take them as word of law, just my opinion :)
I'm not sure what happened but your friend might genuinely think they're protecting people from emotional abuse. Something similar happened recently in a game community I follow. It was wild to see people taking sides when they weren't involved. My best piece of advice is to take time to be with your current friends and take time to work on yourself as well if your vents do contain emotional abuse.
Take time to become self aware. Did you say something that wasn't entirely true? If this person is concerned about others' safety, is there merit to that? Just because you're venting doesn't mean that what you say shouldn't be taken seriously. Many people rant and say alarming things, abusive things even and don't realize it until later. Remember, you have a choice to be the victim here and you have the choice to rise above here. We're all susceptible to exaggerating and saying horrible things when we're upset.
Best thing is to learn from it, get help if you're not already, aim to better yourself. In time, what people who are following you around think won't matter because you'll know you're more than those vents. So basically what I'm saying is, prove your ex-friend wrong. Blocking isn't going to do much but fuel them and make them think they're right, that you have something to hide, etc if they're already determined to "out you" for whatever reason. All in all, if it escalates and you know this person's name, you can contact police for harrassment but... have you asked them to stop first? Sometimes that's all it takes, something like "hey, I'm trying to move on. I know what I said wasn't right but I'm trying to become a better person and spend time with my friends. Please stop following me."
To end this long spiel (sorry it's so long!), have you tried finding other places to make friends than these servers? Places your friend won't find you? Changing your username / profile pic? - hope some of this is helpful if not, ignore it hahah. goodnight
