Comment on Consideration to Defederate Hexbear

This is not true. Brigading is when there’s a post on Hexbear that links back to a specific post or comment on another instance, and Hexbears follow that posted link to interact. This happens all the time, I’m looking at Hexbears front page right now and there’s sereral links back to sh.itjust.works.

And some of those links actively encouraging hexbear users to brigade.

You’re on a link aggregator platform and you are annoyed because are aggregating links?

  Linking internally is definitely not the point, and I’m not annoyed, just pointing out that you can watch the brigading happen in realtime, so claiming that brigading isn’t happening is gaslighting.

    This isn’t reddit, linking between instances is how this platform works. There are users who might only be federated with the instance where a link is posted and not the instance where the original post is.
