making brigading more unacceptable here than it seems to be on reddit would be nice
That's already built-in by being able to block instances. For example, you can't see my comment right now because your instance blocked mine, presumably because you didn't want to be brigaded by communists!
Did beehaw block lemmygrad?
As a reddit convert who just started on kbin, where can I read a bit about all this communists thing? I'm left leaning enough to call myself communist between friends and family so I'd like to observe where the political tendencies of these various instances lie. If it's too much of a hassle, never mind. I'll probably figure it out soon enough.
Among the large instances, sh.itjust.works, sopuli.xyz, feddit.de, beehaw.org, lemmy.one, lemmy.ca, and midwest.social all have lemmygrad blocked. Beehaw seems to already have Hexbear blocked too - very ahead of the curve, gotta respect that.
Meanwhile, lemmy.world, lemmy.blahaj.zone, and of course lemmy.ml do not have lemmygrad blocked.
I'm not sure where you can read about the blocking. If you ask the liberals, they'll probably say something about genocides. If you ask lemmygrad, they'll probably just say cause they're libs. Anyway, there's not that many users. If someone is annoying you then just block them.
No its sillier than that, its because they didn't want to see communist in lemmy.ml
Define brigading.
Coordinated attempts to sway public discussions
That seems really broad tbh, like me and my doctor friends try to convince people they should brush their teeth twice a day would fall under that.
