If so, was it polled somewhere?

    Lol I blocked the most annoying posters from hexbear on this thread and now there’s hardly any comments. I think we should put them in time out. Like defederate for 15 days. if they keep brigading, another 15 days. I don’t really want to defederate, but I hate this kind of brigading.

        Using a congregation of users to influence a discussion unrelated to said congregation as a collective as opposed to individual users.

        It’s like going to A random Youtube video and making it about the Rape of Nanking

          This thread is literally discussing hexbear, and it also shows up in our all thread. By your own definition we are not brigading

            I mean that’s fair, but what you’re doing is like going into a public library and throwing a rave party. You’re allowed in there, but the people are there for a different reason than you

              Nah. People keep inviting them and then accusing them of brigading. They’re like a large group of rave enthusiasts from out of town that were sent invitations to all attend a rave and took public transportation to get there. Then, the people standing outside with “Repent” and “God Hates F****ts!” signs keep shouting that they’re here to corrupt the youth and they don’t belong here.

                Dude, I had your people calling me a bigot because I said you’re no longer trans if you finish transitioning. Oh sorry, I forgot that I also said that trans people in sports is a complicated issue.

                I don’t even really give a shit if they are, or aren’t, allowed to play sports. It has nothing to do with me. Words cannot express how little I think about this problem.

                Your people act like that makes me a fascist and a bigot, make sure that EVERY ratio is in the hexbear users favor and then you wonder why you’re being accused of brigading?

                Jesus christ what a shitshow. Ya’ll need to get outside and breathe something that isn’t cave air.

                  I’m not on Hexbear but have had little but positive interactions with them, which has been refreshing as both an anarchist and one who thinks that anti-electoralism is most likely pushed by bad actors to limit leftist engagement.

                  Dude, I had your people calling me a bigot because I said you’re no longer trans if you finish transitioning. Oh sorry, I forgot that I also said that trans people in sports is a complicated issue.

                  Maybe there was some misunderstanding but I’d say that you should definitely be aware that “finishing transitioning” is itself a complicated issue. It’s about a one-and-done thing and, in absence of artificial organs that don’t currently exist, they still need lifelong medical support and are thus vulnerable to harms from bigots with political power.

                  I don’t even really give a shit if they are, or aren’t, allowed to play sports. It has nothing to do with me. Words cannot express how little I think about this problem.

                  Simplest solution is to ban gendered sports and establish tiered leagues based upon player performance. This would make all games much better shows of arhleticism and has the added bonus to society of fucking both the NY Yankees and the Pats by removing the ability to outspend other teams.

                    I’m not concerned what trolls think. If you can’t see the context of no longer referring to someone as trans because THEY’VE FINISHED TRANSITIONING then you aren’t someone worth speaking to.

                    Oh, by the way, I very clearly dictated the difference in my comment. As in the difference between someone transitioning and someone who is finished.

                    Yes, the simplest solution is the one that requires an oversight committee. Brilliant, let’s put more of that sweet sweet education money into sports! Because that’s what will help trans people in schools. Being able to play sports.

                    What is it about Americans where they want to solve every fucking problem in the WORST WAY POSSIBLE?

              Have you read any of the threads on here? Y’all are absolutely vitriolic against Hexbear users. That is not a ‘public library’ lmfao

                It is more like a meeting of conservative people who try to ban queer events from an event location and have queer people come in and not let homophobe and transphobe rhetoric go on unopposed.

          Raids are a fact of Internet life. “Brigading” is just some bullshit made up on Reddit. There’s not a single website outside of Reddit that cares about “brigading.” Not old-school forums, not 4chan, not Twitch channels, not Twitter.

        You call it dunking. You know perfectly well what it means, and you being here behaving like you do amply demonstrates it even for people who have deliberate reading issues.

      You all should come on down to sopuli.xyz; it’s a smaller server but the admin is intelligent enough to actually ban the extremists, so we don’t deal with these problems.
