"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.

Banned for being: Too White, opposing Russian imperialism, using the word 'authoritarian', not praising the CCP, saying war criminals should be punished regardless of nation.

Capital offenses in tankieville, it would seem.

Well actually, here’s 27 links to sketchy sources and propaganda. No I won’t make any actual argument

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And if you don't read every bit of those 27 links and make a detailed response to each and every point they make, then I'll smugly dismiss everything you say regardless of its validity because clearly you're not here for REAL discussion. Oh, and throw in a few personal attacks and/or memes for good measure.

Hello, I am a third random user wondering what the original comment was, because the .ml admin in the thread deleted all the other comments
