They defederated because people were being mean to them (after they brigaded numerous threads, were omnipresent nuisances and annoyances, and posted a pig shitting on its own balls everywhere).

Given that "the dunk tank" is still one of their bigger subs, id say theyre still brigading.

Back when blahaj.zone defederated from hexbear the tankies started brigading blahaj and spamming comments about how "transphobic" blahaj's mods/admin are. I pointed out how absurd this argument was given the admin and many of the mods are actual trans people.

This upset some moron and they posted a comment "calling me out" on c/dunktank.

Yup, sounds about right. And then they circlejerk over how righteous they are 🙄

They absolutely do, but they come in with .world and .ml alts now.

Yup! Thats exactly how it goes. Then they argue with shifting goalposts or gish gallop you into the dregs of a thread before they finally catch u misspeaking or not addressing one of their shifted goalposts and go, "ha! Look how full of shit u are!" Theyre incredibly toxic as they do it, and get mad if u preach any amount of unity on the left.
