"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

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.

As an American on the fediverse my only complaint is that I can’t drone strike a whole instance. SMH my head.
I just take this as an opportunity to down vote all of their posts.
You don't drone strike an instance, you use a bomber. Drone striking is the block function.
I’m finna use the B52 because it’s got a service life longer than any human will ever live.
The drone strike is always the internet equivalent of replying “K”
Bruh. There’s absolutely nothing more American than wanting to solve every problem than by drone striking it.
Also, and I kinda thought it was obvious with the whole “SMH my head,” but literally none of what I said is a serious take.
Not appropriate to joke about that stuff here, sorry, instance rules. Just say block instead!
Surely by "drone striking the instance" they mean the server rather than the people on it. No harm in that...
Oh, they most definitely mean that... But others can also take it as a threat with the SJW instance rules
