Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Sorry for being out of the loop here... What's a tankie?
I can tell you Hexbear is full of people enshrining China as the perfect country (they deny the Uyghur genocide but embrace its dictatorship as ideal) and calling everyone not from Hexbear a "shitlib" regardless of their political views.
Yikes. Okay, thanks. The post makes a lot more sense now
One of the top posts on lemmy.ml got absolutely brigaded by Hexbear users, proving exactly why lemmy.world saw it fit to defederate from them. So much rampant stupidity in that thread. Hexbear users are not on this site to discuss anything in good faith, they are here to brigade and harass.
Lemmy.ml is a tankie space anyway.

Side bar! They are basically red-fascists disguising themselves as communists.
They also hate Jews. So they are basically another flavor of Nazi.
Oops. Forgot about the side bar. Thanks for responding anyway. I appreciate that!
