And we shouldn't allow this concept to go unchallenged here on Lemmy.
Commenting on an active post is not brigading
Posting a link to something is not brigading
Commenting on something you were linked to is not brigading
The only thing that might be brigading, but isn't because it isn't a real thing, is someone explicitly going, "Hey everyone, go here and harass this person"
It's all fine and good that we have some new rules to keep the peace with other instances but we must fight against 
we literally hammered away at each other, tearing away the reactionary parts of ourselves over time, and now we're overrunning the posting environment. the fact that our emojis break their sites is a perfect metaphor for it, they cannot handle what we bring to the table.
And by the way observe how dramatically the use of emojis went down when we all realized there was an issue with them
Actual trolls would have done the exact opposite
"There we were, just us posters, going to town on one another over and over and over again, until we were cut, ripped, shredded, tight posting machines without an ounce of reaction on our rock hard bits"
