I see all over Lemmy, people really seem to hate hexbear, and I don’t get it. Can someone explain why most of Lemmy seems to absolutely hate them?

    Saying that behaviour isn’t “brigading” is the same type of logic neonazi influencers use when they say they can’t be blamed for one of their fans committing an act of terrorism.

    Stochastic brigading might not be the same in degree as stochastic terrorism, but it’s the same in kind.

    You’ve got an environment specifically set up, by the means you describe, to promote harassment. That’s brigading and trollish behaviour.

    Or being against the expansion of NATO as being pro Putin

    When you side against Ukraine, you are being pro-Putin. Supporting Putin makes no sense on any level, because it’s his warmongering actions that are causing the expansion of NATO. Finland and Sweden had no interest in joining except as protection against the threat posed by Putin’s aggression. Ukraine’s populace was pretty firmly against NATO membership until Putin first invaded Ukrainian territory in 2014, at which point support became quite mixed, leaning slightly in favour. And Russia’s most recent invasion of Ukraine has caused opposition to NATO membership to drop off a cliff. If you’re anti-NATO, you should be unequivocally against Putin’s actions. Instead we regularly see your users support it. (And that’s without going into the complete silence on Russia’s domestic politics, considering your claimed “hardline LGBT inclusive” stance.)

        When you deliberately set up your front page in a way designed to encourage that? When you promote a culture of harassment rather than genuine engagement? Yup. You do yourself no favours by this sort of weak dismissal. It’s the same logic a nazi would use to try and shift blame away from themselves for their fans being terrorists.
