Seems like he wants to redirect the community to Reddit? https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxsucks101/

…sigh…
I really think he will fare better over there. Just wanted to remind anyone reading this that, just like removing hate speech is not censorship, down voting something you don’t like is on itself not brigading. I honestly don’t know what this person thought was going to happen, most of the active users on lemmy are nerds who know or are at least sympathetic with FOSS. You don’t walk into a furry convention and start screaming slurs and mocking every attendant and expect everyone in there to love you. If anything, most people were actually respectful, and giving the benefit of the doubt, or just harmlessly ignoring the posts.
I always thought it was a joke community. When a good joke got downvoted, I’d tell people to lighten up because it’s a joke.
That’s the sad part, it’s all genuinely candid. They do hate linux and linux users with all their might.
Yeah brigading is an organized effort by definition. Maybe it did happen here I don’t know the situation but I’ve many times seen people whine about being brigaded when it was just unpopular to random disorganized groups of people.
Now I tend to think people do downvote too much but that’s a separate issue.
