If you think this post is dorky, theres a comment you can upbear to tell me how dorky and bad you think my post is, but still upvote the post for visibility knifecat

I think our posting is too powerful, simply by posting as we always would, or even at a lower intensity, we overwhelm people with replies to the point that can feel like a coordinated dogpile.

I think we should be conscious not to reply *if another hexbear has already said basically what you were going to"

I don't wanna see a lib take, and then scroll down to see the same 3 lines 10 times that I knew would be there before I looked like we're redditors

Now, if theres a Nazi I expect to see a thousand "fuck off and die nazi scum", but if its a liberal giving a lukewarm liberal take, we should consciously not pile on. And if you just have to add something, take a second to make it digestible for other instances, if you're not posting on Hexbear.

This isn't a tone policing thing, I'm not wagging my finger at you for being rude, I just think its simply unwise to proceed as we have been, tactically. We will alienate people we don't need to, for example any left-leaning liberal who happens to be neurodivergent and say something libbish, we're just absolutely annihilating them.

I also think its important to tone down the PPB, for everyone not in hexbear, seeing a PPB should be like seeing officer-down , announcing the fall of a nazi or fucko. People should see it and smile and say "ahh, they got another one" not "oh these fuckin people"

TLDR: If its been said don't say it again, if you're gonna say it, make sure its understandable and proportionate.

Thoughts?

    It heavily depends on what instance they're from. Pissing off enough lemm.ee losers to the point where lemm.ee defeds with us is no real loss because lemm.ee is full of losers. Just check the modlog. And at the end of the day, they're just using our behavior as an excuse because like the yellow-bellied libs they are, they have to package their obvious partisan move in some self-righteous bullshit. Do we go around calling people slurs or issuing death threats to people? Of course not. Oh boo hoo, we spam a bunch of giant emotes and ruin your anti-China circlejerk. How will you possibly recover?

    I do think being selective in how ruthless we are based on what instance they come from can be a strategy, but I don't think we can pull it off because we're not organized enough.
