"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.

Same lol, but a lot of people don't so there's a lot of hate and downvotes (and threats too sometimes) that comes with it.

You're more than welcome to join us :D

Yeah I've noticed a lot of tankie apologia coming from .ee accounts. Also heard you guys aren't defederated with hexbear so I assume that's rough.

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah we aren't. .ml i can understand but there's absolutely nothing good coming from hexbear lmao

Strangely i've met more tankie[-sympathizers] on .world if you can believe it, most .ee users are pretty chill ime

Dammit, do I have to change instances again?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

It's not as bad as ml by any means, but I have noticed it a fair few times.

I've blocked the whole instance so I never see their posts, and they almost never venture outside their safe space to comment elsewhere.

It's not really an issue.
