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’
Edit: meant to post this in the secret group chat where we coordinate the fall of the west. Sorry y’all. My bad
Every thread that involves Ukraine, China, Africa or the Middle East that reaches /all/ inevitably results in a million liberals complaining that Hexbear users are brigading it because we say things in those threads that they don't agree with and that makes them seethe therefore we must be coordinating it.
A lot of people don't seem to understand that because every instance on lemmy is federated to different instances, everyone's /all/ page is different. This means that when a thread shows up on /all/ for any given instance the users from that instance all show up at the same time. This ends up looking like some coordinated explosion of Hexbears but really it just means it reached top of /all/ for us.
tl:dr: Libs don't like what socialists say therefore it's all a sinister plot by russian bots.
