Welcome to MoG!

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 )
I though PiedFed was the fediverse Instagram, I guess I was wrong !
That would be Pixelfed , maybe you just confused the names :)
If you are looking for fediverse Facebook, theres Friendica but in that case I find Friendica better if you're going to selfhost for you and your friends to use for having a different use case, also supports bridging with plenty of Fediverse platforms and Fediverse-friendly platforms like Bluesky and even pull RSS Feeds into your feed, its quite the tool if you are willing to selfhost or any of your friends IRL are
