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.
Participating is “brigading” the way defederation is “censorship”, which is to say it’s just not but a lot of people who want to stir up drama and play victim will pretend it is.
tbf people defederating and splintering mastodon because they didn’t like the fork people used and stuff was kind of an issue
