Brigading is the act of coordinating attacks or harassment online, relying on a group of people or followers to participate in the behavior. There may be times when using the term "brigading" may not be appropriate and you may need alternative synonyms to describe the same behavior. These could include "mobbing," "trolling," "ganging up," or "harassing." Other options include "swarming," "dogpiling," or "bullying." Regardless of which term you use to describe this behavior, the actions are always unacceptable and can cause lasting harm to individuals and communities. It's important to recognize and stand up against online harassment and work to create a safer and more inclusive online space for everyone.
