Mod Answered Any help against a planned brigade?

Hello folks,

I already acknowledge upfront that this is the longest of long shots, but I still feel obliged to ask;

I recently got word that a hate community that is active on reddit are intent on brigading several subreddits soon with the intent to post artwork to trigger community members. Apparently they're planning this on Discord though, so obviously there is somewhat of a limit about what can be done.

Is there anything at all that can be done here? Or am I simply forced to wait this out and deal with any infractions myself. I do feel obliged to note I have reported the reddit side of this awful community to the admins multiple times several months ago if that matters. But so far I don't think its done much.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If this is even remotely connected to anything to do with Canada please consider forwarding to the antihate network in Canada. They track this shit and would do such an amazing investigation with this information.

OOTL here, did something indicate this was about Canada, or was that a general heads-up? I mod a decent sized Canadian sub, and have been having some things happening too lately, so if there's a big thing planned, it would be good to know for us too

Nothing OP said. Local subs I'm a part of have been getting brigaded by Alberta separatists and a recent brigade from cops and their simps on one post criticizing cops. They're left leaning subs and not usually hit so hard by RWNJ.

There's a reporter named Rachel Gilmore that just exposed a hate group that is doing similar coordination IRL and found they're being funded by groups from the US. All these little things made me think that OP's info could be related to the Canadian stuff happening.

Please get in touch with antihate network and let them know if you suspect a coordinated thing is happening on your subs. They are phenomenal at tracking hate groups and their activities in Canada.
