Congrats! You have successfully done a brigading! Pat yourself on the back! Next seminar, we will be covering how to subtly deceive strategically-important redditors with a simple tactic they don’t know of called ‘whataboutism’ 
Edit: meant to post this in the secret group chat where we coordinate the fall of the west. Sorry y’all. My bad 
The dunk tank is just a socialists-only politics-only version of /r/subredditdrama or /r/againsthatesubreddits. Why is one brigading but the other is not? It's only brigading when socialists do it but it's not brigading when liberals do it?
the subreddits are not on lemmy that's the difference, I thought I made that clear, the subreddits mentioned are for sure brigading too
Lame. I disagree.
They exist to rightfully discuss stuff that is happening on the site. Meta communities are good and useful. They provide useful checks against certain behaviours by providing opposition to them and they provide a useful tool to educate your existing userbase who might not know "this is a shit behaviour don't do it".
Linking to things is fine and good. Sharing things is fine and good, in fact it should be encouraged. Nobody says that random twitter user is brigading by linking to a reddit thread when they're saying something positive, they want the shares, they only say it when it's something negative. The purpose of anti-brigading is literally just the suppression of disagreement. The goal is the creation of echo chambers.
And also the vast majority of dunk tank content is transphobic or racist and I couldn't give a shit what those people think, they should all be run over with a steamroller.
well put
You either let people share links to your space, or you do not.
Selectively banning people from linking to your space if they feel negatively about something and only allowing people to link to that space if they feel positively about it is genuinely the fostering and creation of echo chambers. It's intended to suppress disagreement and I have no other way to explain it than that.
Witchhunting is a different matter, such as the boston bomber fiasco, where hundreds of thousands of people regularly got the "suspect" completely incorrect and harassed real and innocent people multiple times. Hunting and internet-detective shit is not the same as sharing content for the purposes of critique.
I understand I'm just saying the same thing in more words here but I think there's probably a better way to put this that can be found to eventually put the issue of "brigading" to bed altogether.
It's the liberal word for "cancel culture". Just like the word tankie is used to attack their left while the conservatives use "woke" to attack to their left. Liberals use the same tactics. Cancelling is used by the conservatives to attack left while liberals use brigading to attack people to their left.
