That was Hexbear’s modus operandi when they federated with other instances to “dunk” on people. Seeing as many HB users have .ml accounts to bypass defederation, it’s no surprise they keep up that behaviour on .ml. I’ve seen numerous threads where the vote count suddenly plummets right when a bunch of tankies show up at once to yell at whoever they consider a shitlib. Which is everyone who isn’t authoritarian.
it’s so fucking true
Anytime they pull you into an argument, suddenly 5 more show up to try and overwhelm you. There’s no way it isn’t a deliberate tactic.
The three notifications in my inbox before this one were .mls misreading my comment.
That is a tactic they learned from real life tanks. Argue with one tank, more tanks show up.
I had three at once ask me why no one was defending me. I just said i didn’t need anyone to brigade for me. They didn’t seem to like that answer lol
