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
Learn how federation works
what happened to
?
Brigading is whenever a Hexbear user uses the site like literally everybody else that got here.
Brigading is when a post shows up in your all tab and you comment on it
Propaganda is when you say the same thing Reuters, CNN, WSJ, etc are all saying about draft corruption in Ukraine lol
Actually mediabiasfactcheck.org says that Reuters is highly objective!
Brigading is when you federate and use the federation
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.
Main Character Syndrome is symptomatic of lib-brain. SAD!
I'm just here to laugh at bazinga dorks crying for mods
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.
Very cool that the moment someone says "brigading" I can look at their profile and see, yup they joined in June. Wonder why that is 🤔
The wild canuck rages, for it has no values or culture to share
we've been doing lemmy shit for 3 years, youre brigading
Dismiss the propaganda then?
