"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.

This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

Sorry @[email protected] you had to deal with this just freshly coming from Reddit

But these are the games that the Tankie Triad and especially .ml play

Don't forget .ml tankies (including the main admin and dev (unfortunately)!)simp for one of the craziest, brutalist dictatorships in the world! LMAO

It does not matter how calm or reasonable the comment is, if it's deemed to be in dissent of the Tankie mindset it's removed and you're banned

For context this next one ~~might have been~~ (have confirmed with Vitaly) was a comment to https://lemmy.world/post/26045579 (Crossposted version, original that was on .ml memes comm was removed as well so I can't pull up the original to pair the modlog entry to the post like I did for the first 2 screenshots)

Every time I post criticism of the instance an admin goes nuclear.

Elect: to select by vote for an office, position, or membership. by Merriam Dictionary

I thought voting "doesn't work?" Are you telling his logic isn't even consistent by his own standards.

This is the same instance sheltering the well-known troll Universal Monk.

The tankies communities quickly collapse when challenged first Hexbear now Vegantheoryclub. It's almost as if their foundation is weak.

I have screenshotted that last part with much pleasure. Have a good life buddy!

Stemming from this post https://lemmy.world/post/25792088

This is why some don't see the problem with .ml, they're way more subtle. And to those I say look:

This comment was removed by a .ml mod in that thread and the user banned:

And yet, another comment from a .ml user referencing .world instead, but essentially says the same thing as @[email protected]s comment is allowed to stay up just fine for hours.

Why was that not removed? Where is their ban?

Just .ml Tankie things ig

Hexbear's domain has expired and the admins can't get ahold of the original registar. Currently up for auction at 20 bids and $550.

https://www.sav.com/auctions/details/7073489/hexbear.net

Edit: Their new domain is chapo.chat. Probably should let admins know so they can defederate them again.

Orginal Comment looks like this:

The Question that OP asked was: "China is the future, do you agree?"

The flag I commented is a flag of China. The Republic of China, that is.
