Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.
making brigading more unacceptable here than it seems to be on reddit would be nice
That’s already built-in by being able to block instances. For example, you can’t see my comment right now because your instance blocked mine, presumably because you didn’t want to be brigaded by communists!
Did beehaw block lemmygrad?
As a reddit convert who just started on kbin, where can I read a bit about all this communists thing? I’m left leaning enough to call myself communist between friends and family so I’d like to observe where the political tendencies of these various instances lie. If it’s too much of a hassle, never mind. I’ll probably figure it out soon enough.
Among the large instances, sh.itjust.works, sopuli.xyz, feddit.de, beehaw.org, lemmy.one, lemmy.ca, and midwest.social all have lemmygrad blocked. Beehaw seems to already have Hexbear blocked too - very ahead of the curve, gotta respect that.
Meanwhile, lemmy.world, lemmy.blahaj.zone, and of course lemmy.ml do not have lemmygrad blocked.
I’m not sure where you can read about the blocking. If you ask the liberals, they’ll probably say something about genocides. If you ask lemmygrad, they’ll probably just say cause they’re libs. Anyway, there’s not that many users. If someone is annoying you then just block them.

Top three replies:
A concentrated effort by one online group to manipulate another. (e.g. by mass commenting)
When people from one group, organization, fandom, forum, server, etc. aggressively infiltrates, usually spontaneously, a rival forum, server, or stream; negative criticism is usually given to the victim of a brigade (the event itself sometimes being called a raid), with insults and counter-signaling common. Usually used in the past participle (“brigaded”). Brigades can be done in good humor, but are usually antagonistic in nature.
Brigading is an online harassment tactic where a group of people rally against an individual (or occasionally against a small group of people) in a coordinated, sustained and organized way.
So wait if I post a link on here and a bunch of people go there and comment wouldn’t that be brigading? So basically this entire platform can be considered as designed to brigade other websites?
