    The comment comes from a Mastodon instance, and the microblogging convention is to tag a user at the beginning of a post in order to make it a reply. The cross-federation presents the Mastodon post as a Lemmy comment, but preserves the user-tag at the beginning. I’m certain that @[email protected] meant to call the farmer quoted in the article a dumbass.
