Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

If so, was it polled somewhere?

Lol I blocked the most annoying posters from hexbear on this thread and now there's hardly any comments. I think we should put them in time out. Like defederate for 15 days. if they keep brigading, another 15 days. I don't really want to defederate, but I hate this kind of brigading.
- Brigading is when people comment on threads which are visible to them, and the more they comment the more brigading-er it is.
  
  Especially when the thread is specifically about them.
- Can you define brigading?
  Rhetorical question of course because I know you can't.
  
  Using a congregation of users to influence a discussion unrelated to said congregation as a collective as opposed to individual users.
  It's like going to A random Youtube video and making it about the Rape of Nanking
  
  Raids are a fact of Internet life. "Brigading" is just some bullshit made up on Reddit. There's not a single website outside of Reddit that cares about "brigading." Not old-school forums, not 4chan, not Twitch channels, not Twitter.
  
  Nooooooo you can't just come to an open internet forum and talk to me!
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=rf93hqPoBByQcCPe
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
  
  Hey, nice bot you all got here!
  
  You call it dunking. You know perfectly well what it means, and you being here behaving like you do amply demonstrates it even for people who have deliberate reading issues.
- How do you think the fediverse works?
- I'm going to follow your suit and fill up my block list. I can't take this anymore
- Defederate forever, if people want that toxic people around they can go to hexbear or lemmygrad.
  
  You literally popped up in our thread and posted... and I quote . .
  Fuck you.
  And we are the toxic ones ?
