Formerly chapo.chat and r/chapotraphouse, they are a tankie instance that frequently brigades threads that mention them, and engage in harassment campaign against anyone who disagrees with them. They also frequently praise and defend Russia and China, two genocidal dictatorships in which one is engaging in an illegal war against ukraine and china has rampant human rights abuses. Since there are good faith users on that instance, they are more of a hesitation than a censure.

Since its on my feed, I guess I can say something without you labelling it as 'harassment'?

I will say, looking at the other posts, we do seem to be the only community engaging at all with the assessments. I guess associating with pedophiles doesn't bother lemm.ee enough for them to dispute the charge.

I find it interesting that casually associating with pedophiles earns less opprobium than being a tankie in this system of evaluation.

Case #2 of hexbear users coming in and brigading

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

It's literally not brigading, it is on the front page of our instance and it is talking about us. We are commenting on posts on our front page. People need to define their terms because currently "brigading" means "they are engaging with a post they can see."

I am begging you to please learn how federation works

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

This isn't reddit. The whole point of federation is that different instances can interact with eachother.

This really shouldn't be hard to understand.

Do you need a diaper? I have a spare one. These damn tankies scare me so much it's just smart to be prepared.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people confusing brigading with being downvoted/disagreed with heavily. Brigading would be if someone from Hexbear specifically posted a link to your post on one of their communities, encouraging others to visit your post, downvote, and harrass you. Hexbear users finding your post while browsing all and dogpiling on you is not brigading, it’s just how it works when there are lots of Hexbear users browsing all new posts.
