    brigading is such a weird complaint, “oh no people are engaging with my post, I actually wanted nobody to see it”

    why would you be posting incendiary stuff on social media if you’re not expecting people to have opinions

      brigading is such a weird complaint, “oh no people are engaging with my post, I actually wanted nobody to see it”

      In other situations, it is not a weird complain, because not all engagement is positive. For example organised and disruptive engagement is typically bad.

      However that engagement needs to be organised to be a brigade; you need to be able to point out where the brigaders are coming from, and why. That is simply not the case here, the mod is crying “waah brigade” when there’s none in place.
