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 reddit-logo brainworms

Brigading shitheads is a duty.

A key part of Reddit being shit is allowing pigpoop to think they represent the "silent majority"

Wait...this is what the other instances mean by pig shit?? Its a cartoon!?!? This is my first time seeing it, but some of the defed posts are acting like it's being spammed or something.

The original version is PIGPOOPBALLS but the cartoon one is particularly gigantic on other instances due to a bug that shows all emojis at their actual size outside of hexbear.

[-] GreatWhiteNope@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

There’s two versions.

We also have the original picture as an emote PIGPOOPBALLS

To be more fair than they deserve, this is a bigger issue when posting on other instances due to a Lemmy bug that enlarges the emotes into full size pictures. However, I’m sure they’ll keep complaining about it once it’s fixed.

Eh, that's still benign compared to the rest of the internet. Hopefully a lot of the hexbear hate dies down after a while. I created this account because both of my original instances defeded from y'all / the .world piracy fiasco.

Seriously! It's just a picture of a pig. No one's (mostly) screaming slurs or accusing you of being mentally ill or threatening your dog or telling you to hurt yourself (unless you're a landlord). It's just a pig with some poop on it. As far as actual internet toxicity goes it's pretty soft. Dismissive? Yes, extremely.

Huh? Yeah, there's a couple of PPBs PIGPOOPBALLS original recipe, pigpoop carton edition, and the link I don't ahve on me right now.
