I know I’m not in trouble, but I do feel bad that I’m probably the reason blahaj.zone will defederate with hexbear. I just thought they had an insane take on what hexbear was and posted it in the_dunk_tank. I included a link because I am not a LIB

but also I am a LIB and so are all of you and I’m sorry for that as well.

    She sees any dunk tank post of content on their instances as inherently brigading, is my interpretation

    But I queried the API, before the dunk tank post went up the comments on that post were already 1/3 hexbear users. Now its about half. So while it probably had an impact it wasn’t like nobody here was going to see the original post, regardless of it containing bad takes that got it featured in the dunk tank

    Though honestly I’m fine with, and actually would suggest

    1. not posting at all in meta discussions on other servers, at least until lemmy implements the ability to have local-only comms, which I think we would also appreciate here, and

    2. not linking to dunk tank content on federated servers. If it comes up in people’s feed it’s fair game, and if people want to tear their arguments to shreds in the dunk tank, fair game, but we don’t need to encourage actual brigading by providing a direct link, as a show of mutual respect for instances we fed with.

    And yes, lemmy’s dogshit Active algorithm is a struggle session factory, it’s truly bad.
