"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?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (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 โ 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 โ 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.
And for the record, there was nothing even remotely racist in my comment. Dessalines just can't accept being wrong. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
UPDATE : I am (almost) sad to report the ban only extends to memes@lemmy.ml !
Also, I found the original comment, here it is (and if you see what's racist about it, please tell me, I'm open to being wrong about this, although I really doubt it) :
( Update 2 : cropped the second image properly )
No surprise. Dessalines is the reason I switched from lemmy to piefed once my instance anounced it's going to shut down...
Is piefed centered on communities instead of people, like Lemmy ? The reason I only use reddit-like social media is because I've never cared to follow individuals, but I do care about communities and shared interests.
Well, from my very limited experience point of view it is exactly 1:1 replacement of Lemmy.
It might not support 100% lemmy features, but generally it functions the same.
Probably gonna switch later today then ๐
You can even export your followed communities in lemmy and import them into piefed.
Can I find and subscribe to nifty communities from Piefed in my Lemmy account? And how do I do that?
Piefed (like piefed.social) should look just like another lemmy instance. Not sure how proper linking works /c/piefed_meta@piefed.social or !piefed_meta@piefed.social or https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta
