I (edit) actually think it’s a good idea to learn it. Knowledge gives people power to advocate for themselves.

The German CCC have been saying some awful stuff about me (Canadian). I have smi and autism and have been a recipient of abuse for a while due to not being a brogrammer right out of the gate upon joining Lemmy. I can’t help noticing a few of the people responsible just happen to be German users. One of them was called out for astroturfing a post alluding to my mental health issues and disabilities.

Just gonna leave this here. Might delete later. Or maybe it’s a matter of discussion on the meta Lemmy thing. I’m open to talking about it if anyone wants to, or if anyone has experienced similar algorithmic creepy stalking-flavoured bullying.
