I wanna push back on this. The whole point of federation is that people from different communities interact, but when an active community like hexbear predictably has a ton of people leave a comment on a post that reaches their /all page it gets called “brigading” when it’s literally just people using the most basic feature of the website.
Sorry, but no. I’ve seen how they engage with other instances, their strategy is to dogpile on anyone who dares disagree with them, flood the thread with insults and shitty images, and generally behave like poo flinging monkeys. They don’t debate, they don’t actually make a cohesive argument for their beliefs, their entire approach is to use overwhelming force to drown out opposing voices.

They’re a thoroughly awful group of people.
Don’t forget if you try to defend yourself you get told to go touch grass.
Except there’s evidence supplied in this community of Hexbear users organising what threads to target specifically.
You’ve been defending tankies a lot. Why?
