Congrats! You have successfully done a brigading! Pat yourself on the back! Next seminar, we will be covering how to subtly deceive strategically-important redditors with a simple tactic they don’t know of called ‘whataboutism’ sicko-hexbear

Edit: meant to post this in the secret group chat where we coordinate the fall of the west. Sorry y’all. My bad deeper-sadness

    Posting reprehensible takes to the dunk tank is good and gives those engaged in the OP a place to vent without actually brigading.

    Posting posts of posters positing the pig poop people are patronizing after performing poorly on personal positions is positive good.

    Sorry for alliteration I just went with it

      to vent without actually brigading

      If you don’t cover the names of the posters then it functionally is no different, people show up into the original threads, it wouldn’t make it impossible to find if you did cover the name as you could still manually type in the text of the post, but at least if the names were covered there would be some plausibility that you don’t expect people to go into the original thread from the thread in thedunktank

          I think that’s different because the person is calling you out directly that invites a response, I’m not referring to this post, just in general clipping comments of people being ignorant and then people from hexbear showing up from seeing it on hexbear, I just don’t think that’s healthy for the fediverse, other communities are not doing it to my knowledge and I hope they don’t start either, besides the two anti-tankie ones but they get like one post a month so I think they’re irrelevant at the moment

          edit: and also the “drama” communities deserve the same kind of criticism

            IME it’s all either worldnews posts, or meta ‘here’s why we should defed hexbear’. It’s the same people posting in each tbh.

            100% agree shitxsays/drama comms are sus
