And we shouldn't allow this concept to go unchallenged here on Lemmy.
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 
The dunk tank has some sort of place, maybe, but recent Hexbear rules is not to dunk_tank on other instances. I think that's a fair compromise.
The new rule is actually not to directly link the dunked content, and not to dunk on mods/admins of other instances (even though they definitely deserve it in many cases)
B-but isn't rule #1 of dunk_tank to link the content? I was just consolidating, dangit.
They've made libs of all of us!
The new rule is literally my 9/11. Let the dunks not discriminate due to place of origin, what are we, a bunch of [insert current minority we're supposed to be mad at here]'s
I don't think that's true, what I saw was you can post stuff from other instances, you just can't link directly to them.
I would love it if all federated lemmy content was banned from the dunk tank, because then I'd feel more comfortable blocking it again. Like I know myself and I'm going to have to constantly hold in the urge to go in and be contrarian, that comm just really brings that out in me. Probably I should just block it anyway. I just can't really defend this place if I don't know what shit-stirring people have been up to.
