One of them sent me a private message:
your grandfather was a nazi scumfuck that deserves to die
Nice people.
And my grandfather was not German, he lived in an actual communist country and hated it.

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.

im very sorry to hear that. Can you share that message? Like a screenshot?
But it's fine, it's not my first time on the internet.
they always forget that the soviet union was perfectly fine with nazi germany until nazi germany didn't share poland
Lol this is the second time in a month they've done the "you can't fire me I quit" thing
and it won't be the last :(
Everyone that disagrees with them is a Nazi yet they actively deny the ongoing genocide of Uyghers.
Everyone who disagrees with them is a transphobe yet they had several posts agreeing with China's ban on Trans people, sterilization and murder.
Yeah I don't get that? Why are they constantly complaining about transphobia all the time? Yet I never see any.
They're basically using Fox new republican logic of screaming about how everyone who doesn't agree with them is persecuting them and is a bigot about spins wheel of things they like to call people.
It's like labeling CCP critics "racist"
Oh well I guess I'm being racist to myself for criticizing a regime that tried to kill me.
Just tankie logic
tbf I do definitely see transphobia pop up around the Fediverse, it's just generally downvoted.
Thank god. I've been annoyed by their toxic nonsense.
This is like when the one insufferable dude at a party leaves on his own, and now the host doesn't have to say something.
FYI, these super wide screenshots of text make it difficult to read on small/narrow screens (anyone using lemmy on their phone?)
Yeah impossible to read on jerboah - doesn't allow pic zoom (on my phone anyway)
Even if there is an option to zoom, it’s difficult because to read the text you have to scroll sideways in small steps for each line
Am I reading this right that Hexbear is defederating with sh.itjust.works?
I’m pleased to hear the good news.
Heh, good riddance. They’re SUPER fucking annoying, and I’ve seen pretty much zero examples of their userbase contributing in a meaningfully positive way to discussions on any instance, including their own.
All I ever get from their instance are posts about them complaining about other instances complaining about them. Like damn, take a hint you guys.
I have met about 3 normal reasonable people there, everyone else I've seen just barges in to every conversation and says meaningless annoying nonsense.
Can we still follow through with defederating them? This is definitely a ploy so they can start back up whenever they want.
The admins don't have plans on defederating.
Seems really fishy to me. TheDude defederated from Lemmygrad with zero community input, based on his own personal convictions. Now the admin team agrees to let in a rabid userbase of tankies, imaqtpie calls them a "valuable asset" in response to calls for defederation, and they actively get in the way of our attempts to organize a discussion/vote to defederate. Things feel different and not in a good way.
Never had the trash take itself out before. Feels good.
In Communist China, trash takes out you
So calling out tankies for their dictatorship support and defense of genocides made us the Nazis?
Sure, Jan.
I don't know how someone posts something that aggressively asshole-ish and then doesn't understand why everyone defederates them.
It doesn't kill to be at least slightly polite to people.
Lol, I knew they'd run away like the buncha pussies they are. Glad they aren't going to show up en mass anymore and derail threads with their bitching.
Adios 👋 you will not be missed
Fucking lmao. Good riddance. This is at least the second time they've bailed before their shitty deeds can get them kicked out.

I only clicked on a few of their posts. One was literally a bunch of people saying Biden is a pussy for not drone striking 80k people at burning man. For people who really eschew civility like that they seem really sensitive in this post.
Delicate internet bullies.
They lasted only a couple of days. We outlasted them. o7
Keep fighting that good fight! You'll take down capitalism eventually... sometime... on an internet forum lmao
Looks like they’re still federated with us. Is the instance list automatically updated?
I don't think they're federated with blahaj.zone and pawb.social but they are still on the list. That said, I'm pretty sure the pawb.social defederation was on our end and not on hexbear's, so that might be why it's still there. I was almost sure hexbear and blahaj.zone both defederated from each other though.
They plan on defederating later
A side note, but I hate how reactionary is bad. You're supposed to react to new situations and information.
I think the context here is along the lines of Newton's "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Meaning reactionaries are people who oppose new things and want stuff to go back to "the way things were" before that new thing came along. Probably the opposite of what you mean by "reacting to new situations and information."
Reactionary means always being against what your opponents support.
Like conservatives opposing anything liberals support for example. Not because they think the policy is bad per se, but because they believe they must oppose liberals no matter what.
