When one community organises a raid on another — swarming a thread with downvotes, upvotes, or angry comments. Against Reddit's site-wide rules and a fast track to a sub getting quarantined or banned. The giveaway: a sleepy thread suddenly hits triple-digit comments with the same talking points.
“Thread got brigaded the second SubredditDrama linked it — mods locked it within an hour.”
