"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
Where? When?
There are a bunch of examples of "liberals" siding with right-wingers against communism and the actual left in general, all in the name of maintaining the status quo.
There are zero examples of progressives doing the same.
Coincidentally, there are a bunch of examples of tankies suppressing (or outright killing) communists and the left in general, all in the name of maintaining power.
So liberals aren't killing communists just for existing?
Yup, the dude who you replied to was smoking something strong.
At no point have "liberals" done the actual killing, they've always been the enablers. The ones who want open debate with the murderers, in the name of maintaining some twisted form of civility.
There are a bunch of fascinating write-ups about it all. Usually in the context of the build up to Nazi Germany.
Feel free to link them over then! Politics building up to WW2 is always so fascinating.
This is a great write-up from the only Robert Evans legally allowed that name.
