I know I’m not in trouble, but I do feel bad that I’m probably the reason blahaj.zone will defederate with hexbear. I just thought they had an insane take on what hexbear was and posted it in the_dunk_tank. I included a link because I am not a LIB

but also I am a LIB and so are all of you and I’m sorry for that as well.

    Yeah honestly we just need to not link instances we’re fedded in the dunk tank. Just screenshot, or maybe just use the fedilink (the rainbow star thing), so that it’s at least extra steps for someone to go there, read the post, copy the link, search it back on hexbear, click on the post, and then comment/“brigade”. I don’t think that calling out liberalism of other instances is really a bad thing/even brigading, but we should keep the discussion here not in their comments.

    Shit we could even start pinging people like we used to back on CTH, but we need to find some way to not blow up every lib post on another instance into a massive struggle session. Better if the discourse happens here on our turf not out there.

      Yeah, I think not directly linking to other instances is probably the correct choice going forward. The irony is that I posted it because I wanted to talk about it here and not there, because it was clear there was no getting through to that person.

      Also, I want to be slightly fair to myself and say they would have called it brigading regardless. That post was full of hexbears well before my post. Our posting powers are too strong, we need to leave the training weights on in other instances.
