Brigading means "harassing another online community." On Twitch, Reddit, and other online platforms, the members of one community sometimes take issue with another. If the first community begins collectively trolling the second, by posting a massive amount of inflammatory, offensive, and/or derailing comments, that's brigading.
Brigades can also be conducted against an individual, such as when a large, coordinated group of tweeters tweet provocative comments at a celebrity or a user who posted a hot take. Sometimes, brigades are conducted in good fun, but most often, they're toxic (and you should likely avoid joining in on them).
