In 2014, there was an incident in the Netherlands where two Wikipedia administrators went to a woman’s home to harass her.
Ah the cry of brigading. The number 1 go to for when people’s posts aren’t well received.
there is a brigade originating from a post by the admin of ponder.cat, a user who habitually makes vague accusations of other users concealing their true motivations and intent.
they’re toxic, and I’ll be petitioning my admin to cease federation.
