And we shouldn't allow this concept to go unchallenged here on Lemmy.

Commenting on an active post is not brigading

Posting a link to something is not brigading

Commenting on something you were linked to is not brigading

The only thing that might be brigading, but isn't because it isn't a real thing, is someone explicitly going, "Hey everyone, go here and harass this person"

It's all fine and good that we have some new rules to keep the peace with other instances but we must fight against reddit-logo brainworms

posting links is how the world wide web works

http is hypertext transport protocol

what is hypertext?

hypertext is text with hyperlinks to other hypertext.

Got a problem with hyperlinks? Well get off the world wide web and go be a magazine or some shit.

Or just say "Hey hexbear please don't participate in this post" and we respect that request and don't shrug-outta-hecks

Reddit doesn't have issues with brigading anymore, because brigading is when you post on r/ChapoTrapHouse and also post on other subreddits.

I suppose it follows that Lemmy brigading is when you post on Hexagonal Bear dot Net and also post on other lemmy instances.

The cause and effect are reversed.

e.g: I don't like you, because you brigade actually means You must be brigading, because I don't like what you say and feeling outnumbered.

I normally search by active all comments to look for reactionaries to comment on shrug-outta-hecks

I saw so many bad faith trolls saying they'd block this instance. Would love to keep track of them and toss that quote back at them when they're still repeating their shit takes if the feature ever becomes available.

Libs are just pissed about having their precious assumptions challenged and being outnumbered by people while it happens

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I think there's probably a good argument for not going easy on liberalism, ever, because if the roles were reversed they would not give us any room to grow and they would not hesitate. I think there's probably a fine line between showing no mercy and coming across as toxic and giving them an excuse to defederate so no idea what the right call is tbh shrug-outta-hecks

If the purpose is to convert people via federation, it’s good to remember that nobody likes being told what a fucking idiot they are and how selfish they are and that their whole worldview is wrong. I’m not trying to defend libs here, but it’s very rare that arguments are won on the internet. If someone makes a false claim then correct them and leave it for other people to read, but there is no point getting caught up in debates with people who probably don’t have much interest in politics anyway.

Debate perverts are the real sickos.

Everyone knows that any form of dissent is actually brigading, and the more dissent there is, the more you're being brigaded.

The brigading claims get extremely annoying when it's made by someone who just posted something extremely wrong and is now getting corrected by a bunch of people with more knowledge of the facts.

Brigading shitheads is a duty.

A key part of Reddit being shit is allowing pigpoop to think they represent the "silent majority"

It seems to me that instance has a very evident and festering scared-fash problem, which is incredibly strange for what is supposed to be a pro-trans instance.

They're being tone policed down to capitalist-woke levels, but they're still spreading the same hateful talking points that prevents the free expression that the admin team supposedly desires.

This is my first time seeing it first hand but it's so obvious and transparent that their liberal well intentioned inclusiveness has already backfired horrifically. When hexbear users confront these tone-adjusted fascists and question their hateful anti-left stance (something the mods and admin team should be doing but lack the spine) they cry and demand defed because their views absolutely can not stand up to any sort of serious analysis.

I will say I would not have seen this without federation. It genuinely makes me appreciate the amazing community thats been cultivated here because it's not easy to challenge, and remove, a polite abuser standing next to you.

If anyone is communicating with their admin team, I think they should be told to wake up because it will only get worse before their community is co-opted and they're the ones being "tolerated." I am being constantly reminded of this https://youtu.be/P55t6eryY3g?t=677

The fact that calling it out plays in to the fascists hands is pretty depressing too.

I'm brigading your posts and mugging your FOUCAULTS from your PMs. Ya'll still don't think brigading is bad?

[–] dudes_eating_beans@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

brigading is when you post in a thread from a different instance that's on your front page
