"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.

Singular, open, surveys online, are rarely good data. This suggests there are a lot of people, in comparison to the general population, who do not identify as definitely CIS, and presents some interesting things to think about. However, the actual scientific value of this survey is pretty poor. Online surveys are particularly bad for academic considerations, especially when there is just one.

Dude is being a dick though. However saying you doubt the veracity of a single online survey isn't a clear sign of bigotry. There are many reasons to doubt ANY online survey. If you would like to find out why, you can search something like "are online surveys particularly bad for scientific research", and you will get a lot of work discussing why this is so.

Apparently it's okay to unequivocally call people transphobes with little to no basis, but sarcasm? Now that is a dick move! /s

I'll just repeat what I said elsewhere:

Saying “I don’t believe this figure” isn’t born out of a reaction to that information, it’s simply an expression of disbelief that there could possibly be that many trans communists in a community you personally dislike.

You keep repeating your really faulty logic. Repeating bullshit doesn't make it true.
