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.

Suddenly your five person community starts getting bombarded with people from another instance that all seem to have a very different culture and it totally kills the conversation that was happening there before.

If that's a problem why would they federate with instances hundreds of times their size? If you want your tiny community and don't want other people commenting there, don't federate!

I think most people want to federate to reach more like minded people. Which is reasonable.

Then operate on an allow list and only federate with people you want to federate with? Why are you acting like anyone has ever suddenly been bombarded by hexbear comments without first deciding to either federate specifically with us or to federate with everyone? You realize you're literally just making up a lie right?

[–] shapis@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not disagreeing with you on that one. And this thread wasn't about that either. The whole thread is about whether you guys are brigading or not.

you see, it doesn't matter that I was lying because the lie I made up was also completely off-topic

And we're supposed to be the trolls hillary-contempt

You are making up both sides of your own conversation not sure if you realize. I hope you do though.
