No Hexbear isn’t brigading you I’m clicking on the main page of the website and replying to whatever I see. I don’t even know what website I’m on, I have ADHD, I aint got the kind of focus. Anyway I’m going to go brigade a thread about video games with my pro-FFXIV propaganda.
Participating is “brigading” the way defederation is “censorship”, which is to say it’s just not but a lot of people who want to stir up drama and play victim will pretend it is.
