Surprise surprise, Hexbear users came to brigade other instances exactly the way they said they would. Bad actors through and through.

What the fuck are you talking about this is at the top of /all/ and it's about a socialist country, of course socialists are here.

Feel free to point to the "brigade" organisation that exists, it's a figment of your imagination. Nobody is brigading anything by simply using the fucking site. Are you brigading by being here too then?

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago

brigading is when I get ratioed, and the more ratioed I am the more brigading it is

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

I've got 3 fucking years of practice posting nonsensical shit in megathreads and I'm just now starting to feel the power this has in threads like this one.

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Keep pretending China is socialist.

Keep pretending it isn't, lib.

To be fair, it's not like there was any sort of coordination or plan. We've been complaining about how Lemmy's current active algorithm tends to promote these sort of comment-intensive, days-long threads before federation, and now a chunk of the fediverse gets to experience the fun of a patented Hexbear struggle session. Hopefully the Lemmy devs can tune the algorithm to discourage this sort of thread getting stuck in active which thereby encourages protracted struggle.

Surprise surprise, yet another nerd who doesn't understand how federation works.

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

Learn how federation works, or better yet, go back to reddit.

How is it brigading when this is one of the top threads on active when browsing hexbear? How is it brigading at all when we can see posts from other instances naturally, without having to jump between them? This isn't reddit.

Surprise surprise, libs arrogantly assuming they're the default and pearl-clutching about being "brigaded" because they got exposed to ideas that don't fit the narrative they've swallowed, exactly the way they always do. Vapid, self-centered actors through and through.

ill let you in on a secret. the posters at hexbear are all machines. they are posting machines hooked up to typing machines hooked up to internet machines hooked up to lib machines (you). you eat their post. they are making their shitposts immanent with your brain. they do not organize, or brigade, for they are a body without organs, pure potential posting energy that is being excreted in excess where desired. shifting in and out, de/ reterritorializing the posting space. the coils of the shit serpent are far more complex than the borrows of the molehill. welcome to the society of hexbear.
