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. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate 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.

Just got banned and finally decided to block this community. They clearly don't want to believe their precious Russian shock troopers can commit war crimes and are disgusted when the Ukrainians do it back to them.
It took me about a month to ban ml and hexbear.
I was able, as an anarchist, to joke along with their memes, up to the point I mentioned Taiwanese elections.
Whooo boy, big mistake.
Like yes, capitalism bad, but China also bad? List a bunch of reasons why. Nope, those are all insane propoganda, despite me personally knowing people who've fairly recently fled Hong Kong, and its not because theyre fucking Kulaks or something, they are working class.
Much like QAnoners, they live in an alternate reality bubble, which can be fairly easily shown to them and then they just pull a bunch of absolute bullshit out of their asses, dubious claims with no sources which often strain basic logic given an even cursory knowledge of world or regional history.
