Bulldozed: 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?
