Commenting on an active post is not brigading

Posting a link to something is not brigading

Commenting on something you were linked to is not brigading

The only thing that might be brigading, but isn’t because it isn’t a real thing, is someone explicitly going, “Hey everyone, go here and harass this person”

It’s all fine and good that we have some new rules to keep the peace with other instances but we must fight against reddit-logo brainworms

        Yeah, I personally haven’t seen that gem specifically from blahaj, but they say shit that stupid and worse. It’s like they get their views from those shitty revisionist history youtube channels following the Hardcore History wave.
