"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.

What about when they're actually a Nazi?
What makes you think they're a nazi?
I don't, but you stated that like it's an absolute community rule.
Do we need to report suspicious antisocial behavior to the commissars or can we say someone saying actual Nazi things is a Nazi?
Does "don't be a dick" still apply to justified accusations based on evidence, in other words?
If you don't think they are a nazi, then what's your concern?
Future reference for when actual Nazis wander in, as they always will to any community that seems to focus on criticizing communists.
Or 40k.
Well, I'm quite experienced with Neo-nazis, and I'm aware of all the tactics they use, same with other extremists. They are not in this community.
If you find any, you be sure to let me know.
You can just say "it's an absolute rule" then.
I don't understand
You said "Don't call people Nazis in this sub, ever."
I said "Even if they're literally Nazis? Or do we just report them to the authorities for detention and separation from civilized society?"
Then you said "Yes."
Which is fine, I just wanted clarity that Nazis are for banning, not responding to.
Okay, great.
they aren't a nazi though, just want to make that clear
