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

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

    I think fascists should absolutely be challenged, argued with, and shut down

    The only option, imo. If we're talking about arguing in good faith, it's no use with fascists. Bad faith is their whole point.

      I agree, but if we're on other instances I only mean to correct their bigotry and false statements so others see that they're wrong.

      Ideally they'd be banned already and there's nothing to respond to.
