  Yeah see, why the flame and anger? We’re here having a discussion. Case in point.

    You’re coming into a thread after it has 1000+ comments, which itself is subsequent to a lot of informal discussion. There’s context here.

    Part of that context is repeated accusations of Hexbear users brigading. The concept of brigading has its own issues, but to whatever degree it’s a real problem, users from other instances dropping in because a thread pops up in their feed (as you presumably did) is not brigading. Users from many instances have said they aren’t always sure where they are in every thread post-federation, and Hexbear users have said that, too.

      I haven’t said a thing about brigading, so I’m not sure why that’s relevant to me in particular. And I am one user from programming dev, a pretty neutral instance. That’s hardly brigading.

        Fwiw that user specifically has been shitflinging a lot and they’re a relatively new account. I suspect they’re either someone from Hexbear that doesn’t want federation to work out, or a third party just trying to upset people.

        It wasn’t relevant to you in particular at all, just a weird transference of aggression, as if every user holds the same opinions and inherently knows the nuances of this debate.

      The majority of those comments all come from one instance and mostly are derailing the thread and any attempt at discussion. Can you guess which one?
