Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

If so, was it polled somewhere?

Lol I blocked the most annoying posters from hexbear on this thread and now there's hardly any comments. I think we should put them in time out. Like defederate for 15 days. if they keep brigading, another 15 days. I don't really want to defederate, but I hate this kind of brigading.
- Brigading is when people comment on threads which are visible to them, and the more they comment the more brigading-er it is.
  
  Especially when the thread is specifically about them.
- Can you define brigading?
  Rhetorical question of course because I know you can't.
  
  Using a congregation of users to influence a discussion unrelated to said congregation as a collective as opposed to individual users.
  It's like going to A random Youtube video and making it about the Rape of Nanking
  
  Top logic is at work today
  
  I mean that's fair, but what you're doing is like going into a public library and throwing a rave party. You're allowed in there, but the people are there for a different reason than you
  
  come on this was funny
  
  And you just want to mock me. You're blocked
  
  whiny voice ehhhhjh you're blocked
  
  You're blocked too
  
  Ehhhhh ur blocked
  
  You really don't need to announce it, just block and move on.
  
  Nah. People keep inviting them and then accusing them of brigading. They're like a large group of rave enthusiasts from out of town that were sent invitations to all attend a rave and took public transportation to get there. Then, the people standing outside with "Repent" and "God Hates F****ts!" signs keep shouting that they're here to corrupt the youth and they don't belong here.
  
  took public transportation to get there
  We have /c/urbanism so this is doubly true lol

  Have you read any of the threads on here? Y'all are absolutely vitriolic against Hexbear users. That is not a 'public library' lmfao
  
  It is more like a meeting of conservative people who try to ban queer events from an event location and have queer people come in and not let homophobe and transphobe rhetoric go on unopposed.
  
  Raids are a fact of Internet life. "Brigading" is just some bullshit made up on Reddit. There's not a single website outside of Reddit that cares about "brigading." Not old-school forums, not 4chan, not Twitch channels, not Twitter.
  
  Nooooooo you can't just come to an open internet forum and talk to me!
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=rf93hqPoBByQcCPe
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
  
  Hey, nice bot you all got here!
  
  You call it dunking. You know perfectly well what it means, and you being here behaving like you do amply demonstrates it even for people who have deliberate reading issues.
- How do you think the fediverse works?
- I'm going to follow your suit and fill up my block list. I can't take this anymore
- Defederate forever, if people want that toxic people around they can go to hexbear or lemmygrad.
  
  You literally popped up in our thread and posted... and I quote . .
  Fuck you.
  And we are the toxic ones ?
- That will only work till shift change tho...
