It's basically the new /r/GenZedong.

They should've done this way before this became a problem.

I'd like Nakoichi's thoughts on this as well.

"Brigading" is a nonsense concept. These aren't private communities. Coming to the community and engaging with the content isn't an invasion. That's just using the website 🙄

Are trolls just using the website? Kerryposters? Is that Israeli app that directs users to dogpile pro-Palestine social media comments OK?

Brigading should mean more than organic users posting a link in a friendlier space and saying "hey check this shit out." But I wouldn't say it's a useless concept altogether.

kerryposters got banned for spamming, not brigading.

You can make the same "they were just using the website" argument for spam. It's fair to set the moderation bar above "is this functionality designed in."
