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’ sicko-hexbear

Edit: meant to post this in the secret group chat where we coordinate the fall of the west. Sorry y’all. My bad deeper-sadness

    It’s brigading when someone links to a post and says “hey go get this guy”. It’s stochastic brigading when someone links to a post and says “people should dunk on guys like this.” It’s not brigading when someone links to a post and says “wow can you believe people with takes like this exist? See for yourself.”

    I’ve never seen the first. I’ve seen the second a tiny handful of times. It’s almost always that last one. It’s not brigading. We just want to see the zoo full of abysmally bad takes for ourselves.

    Alternatively if folks want Hexbears to stop dunking on them maybe try having better takes

      I don’t see any difference between the 3 people will just assume “hey go get this guy” is an unwritten rule unless it explicitly discouraged in the comm rules and maybe some factor of anonomizing the user is done as well. A random poster is not gonna be able to differentiate whether the person from hexbear found it browsing all or through the thread on their site in “thedunktank”
