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

It implies there are outside agitators coming in to disrupt a community.

But like.

The only "rule" for joining a community is to come inside. As soon as they post, they're not outside anymore.

Brigading is when leftists are the most active posters and the more terminally online they are the more brigading it is.

Folks really haven't grasped that federation means it's not "your community" anymore, you're basically a subreddit now, with all the horrors that entails.

Brigading is a bullshit Redditism. For everywhere else, they're called raids and raids are a reality of Internet life. Even Twitter has a daily main character where people dogpile on someone with a particularly shitty take. If you don't want to deal with raids, you can always join the winning team.

And now the mod of /c/196 is shitting all over Carcosa, just rubbing shit all over Carcosa and our collective faces. This is what happens when you try to pander to bad faith liberals. Why must we collectively give rimjobs to these fucking losers?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that shit sucked. Bummed me out.

Another part that adds to this notion is that libs generally only encounter crudeness from literal children or right wingers.

They think the real world politics is some West Wing-ian paradise of polite discussions and good faith arguments. Only MAGAs resort to ad hominem, ofc, Donald Trump is bad partly because of bad policies but mainly because he's crude! Good Republicans are polite and also want what's good for the country, they just disagree on methods!

This probably stems from anti-civil rights movements saying the blacks are impolite or crude when demanding basic human decency.

Also historically untrue, on at least one occasion, Abe Lincoln bullied an opponent to tears with ad hominem attacks.

Either way, they fully buy into the scam that politeness and taking the high road will win the day except the part where liberalism has been in decay for decades due to what basically amounts to stomping your feet at conservatives every time they slide into fascism.

And they keep doing it, Sisyphus with the rock, Charlie Brown with the ball, libs with politeness. Guess what? Not disrupting evil in any meaningful way means they get to continue to make things worse and get away with it.

This probably stems from anti-civil rights movements saying the blacks are impolite or crude when demanding basic human decency.

Likely, and even before that. Using clothes, language, hairstyles, accent, pronunciation to separate the "good" people from teh "bad" people goes back to forever. That's a big part of how Hexbear even happened; Verbal vulgarity and insults and cruelty that was appropriate to the lies, deception, and normalization of horror coming from the Democrats. "We're going to talk to you with the level of consideration and politeness you deserve, which is none you fucking monsters".

Brigading shitheads is a duty.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

when you post on r/ChapoTrapHouse

Have you been around long enough to remember the obsession with ShitRedditSays?

SRS was so powerful for it's size. Rent free in the heads of every Redditor to this day

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it already is wit some apps or a ublock rule. most won't do it tho

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I know they won't. Some of them genuinely do want to avoid politics and the puppy kisses smothering a shit take gets and it's totally understandable. For the others they thrive on berdly-smug posting their feigned offense at being told theyre wrong. It's like dozens of ben shaliros

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 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

Collective action is invalid, everyone must act as individual monads.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As someone who is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just post a screenshot of the thread on top of your active feed next time someone accuses us of brigading
