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 think your point is fair.
But, I think a bigger step would be adding something to thedunktank rules discouragining "brigading", not linking specifically lemmy posts directly, and hiding the usernames of the people involved in the screenshots.
it's a non issue tbh. Get better takes (which are well and truly offered) or get a post in the hall of shame
It is a non issue, but I think if it could have been done over again it would have been better to take the Titoist approach rather than going so agro on everyone, I guess people will just make alts so they can actually use the fediverse, but it kind of defeats the point of it to just defed or get deffedded from everyone, obviously a few exploding heads, burggit, etc. are unacceptable hate speech, CSAM, etc. but it's very silly that a blahaj user now can't interact with a hexbear user and most of the bigger ones besides lemm.ee and lemmy.ml can't either, just dissapointing that it went down like it did. Even on reddit sure you could block CTH but it wasn't auto blocked to all new users.
blahaj was defederated because they refused to accept a bunch of queer commies, going so far as to say those groupings are mutually exclusive. blahaj is also largely a vaushite/196 instance which sucks.
That one actually hurt to see tbh. Thankfully, we've had a few folks jump over due to the contradictions there. Here's hoping the rest find their way
Ngl it sucks that we ended up splitting but in the long term maybe it was for the better ig
"Taking the Titoist approach," famous for working out in the long term
Ended about the same way and time the USSR did if I recall lol
Hey, aside from Ukraine now, the constituent members of the USSR still exist and largely have gone without race wars. The same cannot be said of what used to be Yugoslavia. They both got fucked by neoliberalism, but the USSR could survive the death of Stalin. Yugoslavia did not survive the death of Tito.
Organised protest is essential to a functioning society, and brigading is what organised protest is called on the internet
