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

Commenting on an active post 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

    To me, it's no longer just ideology but how their administrative team is completely slimey. Why would the admin bother to have this sham poll when it's really obvious a supermajority of people would instantly vote to defed from us? It goes back to my comment about people acting in bad faith. She already knows the userbase wants to defed from us and she probably wants to defed from us too, but she doesn't want to own up to being the person to pull the plug of the great trans federation, so she's going to have this sham poll, wait for the very predictable result, and say, "Sorry, I wanted the federation to work, but the userbase wants to defed and I place the needs of my userbase first," in effect pushing responsibility away from herself. This is extremely transparent in what she's trying to do, extremely obvious to people who weren't born yesterday.

      I like how they're also preloading some arguements that if the vote is to stay federated, it's hexbears voting with socks. Then the admin says they'll adjust how the totals are counted until it seems legit to them.

      If hexbear users are fired up enough to vote tamper, it's going to be for defed, because they don't particularly like blahaj.

        Ah yes, my favorite liberal democracy move, adjusting the totals until it 'makes sense'.

      Great, now they get to portray us as 4chan Nazis or whatever they like after we're gone uncontested.

      Hexbear double genocide theory, exploding heads Nazis yelling slurs at you is the same as hexbear users calling you a liberal so-true
