90% of threads are pretty boring. Most of the memes posted on Lemmy are the kinds of things I would expect from /r/memes. On the political threads people often make claims that are simply false (i.e. claiming that Marxists or ‘tankies’ love the Russian Federation) so naturally Hexbear will show up to contradict that stuff. You’d be hard pressed to find us organizing “brigades,” we literally just have a unified ideological line that we’re experienced in defending so when we see something that’s easily disproven we disprove it.
Hexbear is a higly politicised instance, it makes sense that people from there are mainly interested in politics and would mostly interact with those posts.
If you think they’re “brigading” you clearly don’t understand how federation works
How come they don’t “brigade” normal threads? only political ones.

They don’t “brigade” anything, they’re federated
Alright, I’ll rephrase.
How come they rarely ever comment outside of political threads?
What’s that got to do with the price of eggs?
Whats the price of eggs got to do with my comment?

Well, how come their totally not brigading ends outside of political threads?
It doesn’t, they don’t brigade any threads.
Are you avoiding answering my question? not trying to be passive-agressive (or even agressive).
I did answer your question, they don’t brigade any threads
Because Hexbear is an explicitly political community. They’re here for politics, so of course that’s what they’re going to comment on.
