  • It is weird. The writing style, of the commenters who have verbally lashed out at me, seems to be the same in every abusive comment. Outside of social media, I have had strangers chase me out of job assignments by telling me that someone wants to shoot me. That’s been happening for about 3 years. Four years ago, someone hit me intentionally in a crosswalk and told me, “get up, it could have been worse.” Luckily, I had a witness who saw it happen, and he told the police that the driver appeared to have run me over intentionally. I didn’t even know the witness. He just saw the woman run me down in the crosswalk and heard what she said. If my husband didn’t send all of this after me, then some gang is after me.




  • There was one time on Reddit, that I blocked a user, and then a new account appeared and harassed me. I think it might have been my spouse. I let it go, but I made an account on Lemmy and moved over here soon after that.

    Some of the comments have been abusive remarks out of nowhere, like someone suddenly calling me a “Nazi”, or demanding that I prove I’m female. My husband is a white guy that typically only dated white girls in the past. His mom is from Germany. I might be experiencing harassment because he doesn’t have someone to sleep with now.


  • I like Lemmy. My only complaint is that I have some other users that stalk my account, if they don’t like my comment on a particular post. They will go through my past comments and posts, to use that content in abusive remarks towards me. The same thing was happening on Reddit. The way they were typing made me think it was my estranged husband and some of his friends. They have been harassing me online for years. I don’t think the mods and developers can do much about that, though, unless they notice the IP addresses on the other users all come from the same area.

    Anyway, I like Lemmy. For the most part, discussions seem more intellectual than the ones I have found on Reddit, lately. It just seems to draw a different crowd of people.


  • Then again, your teacher could have a doctoral degree, be maxed in on year of experience for the pay scale, and use summers to work a second job, for even more money. You can’t assume all teachers are making the same $30-50k many new teachers are making. This might also be why districts love to hire young, new teachers that haven’t earned graduate degrees yet, and have less years of experience. They’re cheaper to employ.
