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.

[–] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago

Brigading is when a post shows up in your all tab and you comment on it

Brigading is when you federate and use the federation

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
