Comment on Hexbear federation megathread

  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?

      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.
