Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I think this is the guy, although the account is long deleted. ~~he had Medic or something in his username~~ He was going by u/spindokto and made a few posts over the Reddit Brigade saga
https://old.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/tdmxqs/proof_for_everyone_in_denial/
(new and improved link; you lose all the dumbass reddit comments, but you can look at the pics he posted and his profile using waybackmachine link)

This was the 3rd or 4th post IIRC, directly after the Foreign Legion barracks got Iskander'd (or was it Kinzhal'd? I don't remember) and he was telling people to stay the fuck away because these weren't "a bunch of insurgents with AKs and Toyotas"
E) and for future reference, sometimes it's easier to search here for reddit posts as they get submitted to dunktank or whatever. That's how I got here, searching Hexbear comments for "Reddit Brigade" to find relevant thread, then look for reddit links in those threads.
E2) IIRC the next parts of his saga were admitting on reddit he and some other guys were going to disguise themselves as red cross to sneak out of the country. I don't think anyone here ever really kept tabs on them after that. Haven't been able to track down newer posts so far but I'm also losing interest so
