I knew from reading the headline that Hexbear's horde of mouthbreathers would show up to brigade and spread their propaganda. Sure enough, here we are

Edit: You guys really are just proving my point lmao

Brigading is whenever a Hexbear user uses the site like literally everybody else that got here.

Brigading is when you federate and use the federation

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 65 points 2 years ago

federation isn't brigading. a post shows up in our feeds, we click on it and comment because helping people dodge the draft is cool and good. We're one of the largest instances, and the consensus we have on issues like "conscription is bad" should not be taken as coordination on the part of hexbear users. If we did deliberately coordinate we'd all link you clowns to the thread where we did it because it would be funny.

Idk if "commenting on a post from another instance that showed up in my feed because the instance I use is federated with that instance" is brigading.

Dismiss the propaganda then?

If you're so eager to defend a military conscription/draft, why don't you go and fight on the frontline yourself? This whole article is about Zelenskyy cracking down on Ukrainian citizens avoiding the conscription because they don't want to be sent into the meat grinder that is the heavily fortified front lines.

It's always those that face the least consequences from war that are the most eager for it to continue.

Oh man, that brings me back to the days when r/cth used to brigade other subs. Those were the times.

Never thought I'd live long enough to see it again...

[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago

The best part was that it was always just the fact we were all terminally online and saw the same frontpage threads as everyone else. It was (almost) never an actual brigade, just the result of having a bunch of very active posters with better politics than the average redditor. That's all it took to make the worst people on reddit pit over being unable to consistently silence people with better opinions than their own.

If you feel more comfortable in your bubble go back to it
