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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Which instances are pro genocide? I take it chinese? I think someone told me some of the communist ones that back russia and china were original developers of lemmy. I haven't seen any pro israeli instances yet, although I've seen a few fascist bootlickers, influence agents, bots, or should I just call the latter two mechanized troll divisions.
.ml, lemmygrad, and Hexbear all enforce standards of atrocity apologia and denial.
Hexbear was the one ran afoul of but I've heard of the others, have had conversations on .ml without issue, idk lemmygrad. They really like the china and russia kind of countries I guess, and it seems like a top down sort of operation with a chain of command rather than a collective of like minded people. Perhaps a long palsied arm of russian intelligence.
It is a bit ironic though, that they are all rather "woke," and purportedly far left, while holding up as models countries that are fascist and authoritarian and could only be classified as hard right, dictatorships. Neither Russia nor China exemplifies the wokeness so to speak they wield, and in fact helped coin through their proxies that definition. In fact either would probably imprison anyone loudly espousing their ethos in those countries in a work camp.
FYI all those instances are mostly the same people, just with different masks. .ml is the one where they're at least trying to look reasonable. Grad is mask off. Hexbear is used for trolling.
Whom are these people do we have any idea? The reasonable ones I talked to during the big troll on my original offense explained they weren't super politically correct westerners for communists mostly outside the US if not the west altogether. That's all I know, but I know some are in the UK and US and Spain at a minimum.
