Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
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 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.
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.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
Hexbears can't answer the question "is it ok to kill civilians" without asking "Palestinian or Ukrainian?"
Somehow, if you say that killing children is bad regardless of religion, country or skin color, you're a racist and a Nazi.
They don't care too much for Uyghur people either.
Had one guy claim the Uyghur concentration camps didn't exist. He posted a wall of random articles claiming there was a lack of evidence.
When asked why China is not allowing journalists near these camps and they locked it all down I got no response.
Yeah, I have seen mostly claims that the camps don't exist and there is nothing going on.
And then they—the ones who claim to be so socially enlightened—say that the idea of cultural genocide is fake and doesn't exist and that erasing a culture by forcibly assimilating it is Good Actually.

This is just plain not true. Cool strawmanning.
As with every single time this comes up. "Hexbear would TOTALLY say this" "Oh really, any examples?" "NO BUT THEY WOULD I BET PROBABLY"
I have long blocked the instance due to that behavior, didn't need that toxicity in my life.
Cool cries though
