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 10 months 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

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).
