Comment on Hexbear federation megathread

I tried to deal with them and live in peace but found it nigh on impossible, it’s like someone gave a bunch of 10 year olds a bunch of E numbers and a copy of Das Kapital.
That said I think the approach to defeding is correct. I’ve just been blocking their communities in “All” and blocking the worst of their users when they pop up in other places and it’s improved my experience no end.
Given that several of them are here in our meta discussion arguing the toss doesn’t help with their claims to not brigading though, lol.

Brigading suggests we’re making an organized push. This post, which was not marked as exclusive to your community, came up in our feed and regards us, of course we want to talk about it.

This thread is the top post on Hexbear when sorting by Hot and All (rather than local). Our own threads in that position regularly get hundreds, sometimes over 1000, comments. The fact that a small handful of Hexbear users offering (mostly) very restrained, respectful comments is frequently referred to as “bridgading” demonstrates how frequently the vague accusations leveled at our (and other) instance(s) are made in bad faith as a mere reflex.
