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.

It's hilarious how upset they get at people saying CCP.
Which is especially weird, considering that the official Mandarin name for the CCP is "Zhōngguó Gòngchǎndǎng", the first word of which is the Mandarin word for "Chinese." The literal translation yields the common name, not the special name that MLs insist is the only acceptable one.
I once had a comment deleted on grad with the mod message “is the see see pee in the room with you now?”
The CCP is lirerally in the room I'm in. My parent have Wechat 👀
Its fine tho, I can just yell 光复香港,时代革命(Free HK, Revolution of our times) during their annoying Wechat voice calls to turn it off 🤭. (I haven't actually tried, but maybe I should since they talk so loud on the phone and it annoys the fuck out of me)
Edit: I mean, at this point, they (ccp) know I'm very anti-ccp. I shit talked about the one child policy when they have their phones in ther room, and they obviously just tap "allow" whenever a permission request pops up 🤦♂️
I mean, yeah, probably - they hacked the shit out of the communications infrastructure, right?
