"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

MODERATORS
No. He might get assassinated by an individual or a small group of conspirators. He won't get paraded through the streets while being raped with a sword until he dies. But nice try.
It's weird that some random German thinks they know what American hillbillies are capable of or actively talk about doing when their memory doesn't even go back more than three years and they have literally zero knowledge of history or the nature of angry mobs.
Oh, no, wait, that's not weird, I always forget some people are just average.
Your comment has been restored. @imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works removed it for no reason.
I removed it because it was an unnecessary insult on the other person's intelligence. If you feel like restoring it 2 weeks later, that's fine by me.
That's why it was removed.
I'd prefer it if you lot don't touch this community. I've asked all of you multiple times not to, and you keep doing it.
This community is on my server. I have a responsibility to moderate it.
I will continue to try to let you handle the moderation here as much as possible, but that's a courtesy that I'm extending to you. The community is not independent from the server, and you will have to live with the fact that admins can and will remove content that they deem in violation of instance rules.
I think we are doing a good job of being hands-off. This community seems to be doing well. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Removing comments that didn't violate any rule using "smh" is not good moderation.
Fair enough, continue then. But please warn them before hand.
Ok, I can do that.
