"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.

Yeah I was gonna ammend that with "well that's probably because of the enormous amount of de jour privilege and honestly segregation that I've lived with because I've heard in some places people can actually be serious about it". Lemmygrad is for sure one of those strange places where it can be serious, wouldn't be surprised by black Isrealites being on there or something.
It's edgy kids doing it, many of whom are white themselves. They form a worldview that's nothing but a reverse image of 19th century White Supremacy - only instead of white people being the only bringers of good, white people are the only bringers of evil. It denies the agency of communities of color and, predictably, ignores or denigrates the experiences of mixed-race folk.
Okay now I'm gonna try to see if there are white people on grad who believe in Yakub
They definitely use the same terminology. Mostly because they think any form of anti-white sentiment is inherently funny and laudable, same essential reason why 4chan back in the day was so fond of the n-word, just a different target.
