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.

    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?

      If that happens with malicious intent, yes. If it’s just advertising, a friendly visit or an otherwise civil exchange of opinions, no.

        How can we determine malicious intent?

        If a bunch of people go to have a discussion and one person says “Hey we should mess with them” is the whole group considered malicious?

        On the flip side if a bunch of people go and comment maliciously but it’s never explicit is it fair to just assign malicious intent to them?

          How can we determine malicious intent?

          It’s social interactions, not science. People form opinions.

          People may falsly assume they’re being brigaded, and there may be confusion around the term and the limits. Which in turn can be used by brigading groups to conceal their efforts.

          Anyways, I hope I could help answer some of your questions.
