The hexbear squad is really brigading the fuck out of this thread.
This thread has 400 comments. It's on everyone's feed who federated with lemmy.ml
Is this brigading?
That may be true, but your instance doesn't have a very high percentage of engagement in this community outside of this post. Copying from an older comment of mine:
These are the top 3 instances commenting in this specific post at the time of writing (2023-08-25 08:02 UTC):
These are the top 3 instances and their comment counts on any post in lemmy.ml/c/unixporn this month at the time of writing:
You're reading that right, hexbear has a whopping FIVE comments in this community that are not part of this post.
One of those 5 is a user participating in the hexbear brigade in this thread that commented previously said rices were inspiring. But go ahead and tell me all those users are pillars of the linux community. Which bad faith argument will you use next?
Inb4 bRIgaDIng HAs To be ORGaniZed And we're NoT; even though an acceptable use of the term is also when a particular group floods another community's space that they don't normally participate in. I know you lot have trouble grasping a term can have multiple definitions, so don't hurt yourself champ.
That's great and all, but this is a federated comm, it appeared on my home page under active. I don't know if it matters if I personally shared my XMonad config and custom volume widget or commented on yet another custom tiling wm. I always exclusively lurked on the subreddit. I lurk on this one too. Discussion isn't usually that insightful besides "wow!" and "theme?".
This time, there was actual discussion and I decided to join in. Much more interesting than the 900th i3 gaps with an 18 pixel gap and 15 lines of code visible in the terminal.
Cool. Your instance had like 22 users subscribed to lemmy.ml/c/unixporn. Stop pretending you all lurk this community and finally decided to comment all at the same time.
This is a .ml post.... by one of us...
Who the fuck do you think you are saying we are not part of the .ml community?
We were here before you and we will be here after you're purged with the rest of the libs.
What? You know hexbear isn't lemmy.ml... right?? Your instance has 22 users subscribed to lemmy.ml/c/unixporn. You'll notice I didn't say you're not part of whatever .ml community you're talking about (although hilarious if you're actually Mali gov.) I'm saying your instance is not an active participant in this unixporn community outside of this post. Also probably pretty safe to bet you're not actually part of whatever ml community you're imagining.
Another not so clever shift by you fools to unsuccessfully change what I've said.
Are you the reason your comrades keep questioning knowledge on federation? Your instance didn't federate until earlier this month. It's literally impossible for your collective "we" to have been here before anyone with an account older than that, of which there are plenty.
To spell it out for you. You don't know what you're talking about. Your instance as a whole does not engage with lemmy.ml/c/unixporn outside of this post. Be more mad though, it's fun dismantling you all one by one. Maybe just stick to your safe space echo chamber 👍
Eat shit.
Yeah I'll accept your surrender as well. Back to your little safe space now, skip to it.
You are literally crying about us being in your safe space, nerd.
What? Pointing out that you fools are piling onto people in this post isn't crying? Pointing out that you fools aren't active participants in this community isn't crying?
You're butthurt that I said you're not part of this community and when confronted with evidence that backs it up you .. checks notes .. reacted like a petulant child.
Again, probably best to stick to your safe space echo chamber.
Lol. Lmao
Take the L and go home. Or maybe form an actual response if you're capable. I'm not sure you are
This is my comm now. Go away.
Nah try again. Based on how few of you sub here I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know how to use a terminal and thought all command line stuff makes people hackerman.
Gtfo
Incorrect, I am the type of hacker man that has accidentally formatted my hard drive by entering random commands I find posted on the internet... 7 times now.
Glad we established this isn't your community.
But it is.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml can you mod me for a sec. I bring you a dengiun as an offering.
You think asking for mod makes this your community? Oof
No I think being part of the lemmy community and fediverse makes this my community.
Imagine thinking being on lemmy makes you a member of every community on the platform. Guess that makes me a member of the hexbear community then eh comrade?
Watch out, better not let them find out the lib communities are yours as well 🤭
Yes. Stop in the mega and introduce yourself.
thread appears on our feeds. we comment on it.
i understand it feels bad to have your beliefs questioned, but that's not brigading, it's simply how these websites work
there is no such thing as "brigading" in federation. it is just people commenting you don't agree with
It’s brigaiding when people you don’t like comment on posts that everyone can see on the website we all use
Big brain take right here
Noooooo don't comment on our public post on social media that we purposely allowed you to comment on
Brigading the fuck out of our comrade's thread...?
We can't defend ourselves when called out or support each other outside of hexbear.net without being called out for brigrading.
Ya all losing your minds.
400 comments total is rookie numbers. You should check out the news posts involving either Russia, China, or Taiwan. Or check out this post where the admins of lemm.ee asked for the users' opinions of whether to defederate from hexbear.net. There are 1884 comments. (There was once more than 1900 comments, but I guess the mods removed some.)
Yes, I listed Taiwan separately from China.
Lol now you just trolling.
they're a so-called taiwanese comprador you can pay them no mind
now you're trolling too
no, you are literally a colonial comprador
hope that clears it up
You are literally a Chinese propaganda swallower.
Hope that clears it up.
cry harder comprador
Just in case you didn't know, your comment along with the other replies are a perfect example of brigading.
lmao the absolute condescension
I was participating in this thread before you, finding it on my all/active feed
go back to reddit if you want to whine about brigading
Why does 50% of hexbears tell people they don't like to go back to reddit? I am never going back.
because brigades are a reddit thing but go off
says the hexbear while brigading
sorry let me rephrase that in a way you'll understand
"Just in case you didn't know, your reply along with your other comments are a perfect example of having no idea what the fuck you're talking about."
ok sure
too much discussion on your discussion platform?
