Welcome to MoG!

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.

The irony is that if they were merely antifascists that were dunking on racists and transphobes, a lot of people would genuinely appreciate them. The tankie brain-rot ruins that though.
"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the fascists, not join them!"
Although, tbf, I think I'd still be somewhat annoyed at Hexbear style discourse even if it was oriented towards a good cause. Much less annoyed, of course, but "I know you are but what am I?", Sea Lioning, Gish Galloping, and images of pigs pooping on their own balls are not great for the tone of any community.
Let's face it, these people are run-of-the mill internet trolls who are working with a politics angle. Their only cause is distruption of online communities for shits and giggles. Treat them like any other troll - block on user level, defederate on instance level.
Bro I had them call me a bigot because I dared to suggest trans people aren't trans when they've finished transitioning. They're just whatever gender they transitioned to. That and, oh god the horror, that trans people in sports is complicated for reasons.
That's it. That makes me a bigot. Literally accepting them, accepting them makes you a bigot because it isn't on their terms.
Delusional authists seem to think the world should bend over backwards for them. Surprise surprise, it doesn't.
One called me an eugenicist because I don't wear masks any more when I go to public places.
They claim we just don't like having opinions challenged. No, I'm okay with new ideas, but when they come bundled in a sandwich of insults and mockery, the ideas lose their appeal. I don't understand why the hexbears don't get that. It's always everyone else's fault that no one wants to talk to them.
