What is "being bulldozed by them" like for you? I hear this sort of thing a lot, but I really can't say I've ever felt this way. And I am a devout member of a rigorous and conservative religious tradition, but I just don't ever feel personally affected by this issue.

- concerndc1tizen 2y agoThe more you suppress normal people, the more people you will add to your opposition. But perhaps the right wing knows that. Maybe they're adding fuel to the fire by supporting extremist LGBT people. Wouldn't that be something!
- concerndc1tizen 2y agoBulldozed: flagged, downvoted, villified, sidetracked, strawmanned, ad hominem, getting cancelled. They often use tactics like brigading, dogpiling, astroturfing.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoYou think there is an organized HN lgbt brigade that coordinates downvoting and flagging of your posts? And they are funded by some external source (astroturfing)? Am I understanding you correctly?
- concerndc1tizen 2y agoI've seen extensive evidence of it. Not specifically my posts, but collaborating in general, yes. I've observed many people being bullied out of open source communities that are LGBT-dominant, and I'm not the first to speak on this topic either. Maybe they're just mimicking their oppressors, so I understand, but it's an intense experience nevertheless.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoWhich open source communities are "LGBT-dominant?" What does that mean?
- immibis 2y agoIt doesn't mean anything. It's just what comes out of certain NI LLMs when they're prompted by certain words. It'll be fixed in the next release.
