Found out a huge number of Reddit bans are for 'brigading' now
I was reading a report from a tech site called The Verge last week. It said that in 2023, over 40% of all subreddit bans were for 'brigading' or vote manipulation. I always figured it was mostly for hate speech or spam, but that stat really surprised me. It makes me wonder if a lot of people get caught up in it just for posting in a thread someone else linked to. Has anyone here been banned for brigading when you didn't even know you were doing it?

lopez.brooke is right, they're just labeling everything they don't like as brigading now.

Honestly, that stat seems off to me. I've seen way more subs get nuked for hateful stuff than for brigading. Maybe they're just calling everything brigading now.
