  2. Post on topic
  3. No bigotry or hate speech
  4. Memes should not be personal attacks towards other users
  5. We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    • Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
  6. This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

How do you determine if something counts as "brigading" vs just being federated? Moreover, I have no idea what you're counting as "spreading hate."

https://jlai.lu/comment/13530572 (For your first question)

Some isolated users are very vocal when there’s a discussion about their instances. Happened in a discussion about defederation of hexbear in my instance. Wasn’t there but it lead to both instances being defederated from us

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's really just federation between instances, not dedicated and coordinated brigading.

For sure, the core of hexbear and lemmygrad isn’t brigading, but it happened enough so that people are fed up of it

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Or, like I think, it's just friction from opposing viewpoints and federation naturally cropping up.

It literally never happens. You just continue to not understand how federation works

I’m not specifically saying you’re making a post and collectively jumping on a train to shit on us. It could also be that some users just search for political posts close to their beliefs or posts about their instance and only interact with those

It still feels Iike the only time you pop on threads, it goes wrong, and you are always seen in the same type of threads

No, that is what you're saying. That's what Brigading means
