Comment on Hexbear federation megathread

• NuPNuA@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The fact that you’re here in our meta thread for our users to discuss the situation arguing the really doesn’t help with the image of Hexbear users brigading other communities.

    I can literally see the post on my feed. It’s not brigading. Image

    Also the admin hasn’t said that this is an exclusive thread for lemm.ee users so we have the right to defend ourselves against accusations some of which are false.

    I would be upset if people in our instance started spamming random shit here with no intention to engage in a conversation and agree that they should be reprimanded by the servers admins/mods.

      It said in the post to read the admins whole message, and to only participate earnestly/ not be rude and stay on topic

      So, we are. Why is that an issue?

        Did you mean to post that one comment level higher?

    I was already having a conversation with Sun when he made the post. Which is why I was one of the first here.

    there’s no such thing as brigading on lemmy, this post pops up at the top of our feed by default

    there have been half a dozen hex users in this comment section so this accusation doesnt feel warranted

      This is on the front page of chapo.chat/Hexbear.net. Isn’t the whole deal w/ federation that the communities merge their posts and their commenters? I apologise if I am misunderstanding. Personally I just comment on whatever things I think are worth commenting on regardless of what community it’s on as I think my comments never violate any particular rules anyhow. It’s not brigading it’s just people wanting to comment on what’s in front of them and directly referring to them, IMO. I understand how it would feel that way when it has come so suddenly, though. It’s just what happens when an old and active group suddenly joins a bunch of smaller and/or less active ones (or, at least, larger to a small enough extent that the new commenters are still noticeable).

      there are more of us and we post more than you, thats it

      It’s like moving to hawaii and being surprised to run into so many beaches

      You should see how we are when we’re at each others throats, then you’d know how mellow this turnout is comparatively

      But its a post about them and there’s no request in the post for hexbear users to refrain from commenting, why shouldn’t they comment?

      • Lols@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        this comment was made yesterday, when there actually was only half a dozen hex users commenting

        at this point hex users massively outnumber lemm.ee users in this comment section, and while i dont think users are actively brigading lemm.ee the way they were brigading blahaj, its extremely overwhelming regardless and i see why folks want to defederate from them

        i dont blame them for responding, but i also dont blame other folks for being entirely exhausted with a dozen of them being ready to respond to any comment, especially because of how widespread of a phenomenon its been and how hostile hex users have been in some of the posts theyve overwhelmed

    If you’re going to cry about “brigading” like a redditor then you don’t understand what federation is and should go back to reddit.

  It appears posting memes about assassinating people for ideology is something that both extreme left and extreme right tend to do, and that’s something that non-extreme people, unsurprisingly, don’t seem to be fond of.

    Don’t liberals love to joke about wanting political assassination? See any comment section about Putin for example.

    source

    • oce@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      In the case of Putin it would be in the hope of stopping it’s invasion war. It’s similar to wanting to assassinate Hitler during WWII, I don’t think you would oppose that.
      If you mean assassinating or letting die the lower classes, that would a very small percentage of liberal extremists, similarly to right and left extremists.

        Ehh, people also were calling to nuke Moscow. I’m simply saying that centrist ideology doesn’t make someone not call for killing
