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 
I disagree with your idea of brigading. It's a public space, why does it matter how people get there? What matters is what they're actually doing. Why would anyone care how someone got somewhere, if they're not doing anything else wrong? And how is disagreeing with someone, or telling a bigot to fuck off wrong?
To me, the issue is trying to destroy the space itself. But honestly, if telling a bigot to fuck off destroys the space, how much am I supposed to care? Why would anyone care about a space where bigots are protected? Do people genuinely see a space full of bigots as a space worth saving?
The only reason it matters is the term brigading explicitly pertains to "how people get there"
You can think it's a good thing, that's not unreasonable, it's just what the term means, I personally trust the mods on most of the places I post to so far hexbear included, they have not given me a reason to distrust them, I have not seen egregious bigotry staying up after being reported
Yes, and its the least important part of the definition. Unless there's intentional destruction, its not brigading. Even people who care about brigading very rarely care how people find posts. Its only when they feel people are being destructive that they care.
When I arrived here I got called a wrecker by about a dozen or so bears because I believe in dronegender rights. They said that speaking in favour of drone rights would have a destructive effect on the space.
Guess what? I didn't shut up and now Hexbear supports trans rights. Win. Destroying the toxic and oppressive parts of communities is good. It lets the rest of the space shine.
