I'm not sure I've seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

I literally only see threads/posts complaining about them, no actual trolling/brigading etc. But I'm not on Lemmy all the time. If it was such a problem you would think it would be clearly visible.

Take a look on any post outside of lemmy.world that remotely mentions China, Russia, Ukraine or North Korea, and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Unless their mass flooding of pig poop emojis, bad faith arguments and authoritarian apologetics don't count as trolling or brigading to shut down discussion.

Lol Those threads are a colossal shit fest, how would I even tell the difference between brigading and just business as usual?

I just think that defed should only be used as a last resort in fringe cases not the norm or lemmy instances all end up isolating and becoming echo chambers.
