Seems like he wants to redirect the community to Reddit? https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxsucks101/
looks like my comment was removed… but honestly, the funniest thing ive read today
i don’t see reddit making rash noob decisions
hahahahahahah
>make unpopular posts
>ban people for disagreeing with them
>people downvote your posts
>get mad
Get used to it, bub.
brigading is such a weird complaint, “oh no people are engaging with my post, I actually wanted nobody to see it”
why would you be posting incendiary stuff on social media if you’re not expecting people to have opinions

In other situations, it is not a weird complain, because not all engagement is positive. For example organised and disruptive engagement is typically bad.
However that engagement needs to be organised to be a brigade; you need to be able to point out where the brigaders are coming from, and why. That is simply not the case here, the mod is crying “waah brigade” when there’s none in place.
I agree, it does strikes me as something what needs to have some channel on a different platform (like a discord or other comm) to coordinate, but posting on a federated social media and being mad at negative replies from people seeing it in /all is silly.
People will also go into comms and post provocative comments, get more of a response than expected, and spin their inbox blowing up as brigading for sympathy.
…sigh…
I really think he will fare better over there. Just wanted to remind anyone reading this that, just like removing hate speech is not censorship, down voting something you don’t like is on itself not brigading. I honestly don’t know what this person thought was going to happen, most of the active users on lemmy are nerds who know or are at least sympathetic with FOSS. You don’t walk into a furry convention and start screaming slurs and mocking every attendant and expect everyone in there to love you. If anything, most people were actually respectful, and giving the benefit of the doubt, or just harmlessly ignoring the posts.
I always thought it was a joke community. When a good joke got downvoted, I’d tell people to lighten up because it’s a joke.
Yeah brigading is an organized effort by definition. Maybe it did happen here I don’t know the situation but I’ve many times seen people whine about being brigaded when it was just unpopular to random disorganized groups of people.
Now I tend to think people do downvote too much but that’s a separate issue.
The whole thing seems wild
