No Hexbear isn't brigading you I'm clicking on the main page of the website and replying to whatever I see. I don't even know what website I'm on, I have ADHD, I aint got the kind of focus. Anyway I'm going to go brigade a thread about video games with my pro-FFXIV propaganda.
By that definition, we brigade all posts on our site and everywhere else, because we have a carefully cultivated culture of organised mass posting everywhere we see. If other Lemmy users aren't posting with every fibre of their being, that sounds like theeeeir fault.
Posting everywhere individually isn't a problem, it's making a post about some other post then everyone from that second post going over to the first - in particular with some sort of call to arms in the second post.
If it truly is organised, then that is the definition of brigading.
Fair enough. As we banned the first behaviour weeks ago, I guess we never brigade anything.
