"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?
(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.
I was just banned for a comment that was critical of kamala Harris, critical of Hamas, pro Palestinian civilians who are suffering genocide from the Israeli government
"Rule 1" and I didn't even use a slur or anything.
Quotes incoming, have to copy paste
I agree with the "settle down" commenter, you come across as uncomfortably aggressive in your comment.
Think about blockingl .ml, they thrive on agitating community members and do not follow their own mod rules.
I guess that's just a general way to talk about a us politician missing the mark, then my own assessment of the better distinction. (Kamala called the entire protest a pro "Hamas" protest rather than a pro "Palestine" protest. Which sucks)
Rule 1 is about racial slurs, so really I'm posting to check if I used one.
Seems I didn't but there's dissent about weather Hamas is a terrorist org. Certainly not a racial slur on my part, but perhaps not aligned with the mod sentiment.
Edit compared to most comments there, and on Lemmy, my comment isn't especially heated.
Edit edit anyways thanks for the reply.
I figured a passionate "fuck the message about the protest, enunciate the important difference between the groups in play" was worthing of being direct and energetic. Y'all see it as too much and that's a good reply.
"Kamala called the entire protest a pro "Hamas" protest rather than a pro "Palestine" protest'
That's fucked.
"Rule 1 is about racial slurs, so really I'm posting to check if I used one"
You didn't, but the mods don't care about their rules over there(even more than on other instances). If they don't personally like it and they see it on their alts, ya banned.
I get plenty heated too, I get it, but in .ml it's like they're deliberately stoking the fires, posting misinformation, and don't care or are happy to see what burns.
Dumpster fire.
