      TBH reading “their” opinion on Russia and the Russia war I can see why people would just simply want them to stay within their weird island. Well defederation is still not a cool option in general for the platform as a whole but I can see how admins of instances read stuff like that and can’t help but let their own opinion influence their decision. I would probably stay away from these as well.

      I can sort of understand why tbf. Just playing the devil’s advocate here but the issue is that today it’s fine and shitposts are shitposts but Poe’s law will come into action at some point.

        That’s not the actual reason. Hexbear was openly advocating for their “army” to brigade other instances once it was federating. It just so happens that the basis of that brigading was going to be political.

        Lemmy.world pre-emptivly decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of having to deal with that.

          Ohh okay. I didn’t know the context but that sounds really bad. Brigading instances should be de-federated.

              what’s the line between brigading and just getting into political arguments though?

              What is the similarity?

              Brigading is when you are targeting your entire group to a single post and attack users or disrupt the discussion.
