"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.

It's funny that they say that, as if they can really do anything about us and others talking about them. All they can do is shut us out, they can't shut us up.

They can certainly shut us up. There's been a few attempts on this community before. Doxxing, ddosing, bots, spam, whole lot of it--rather annoying.

[–] Draconic_NEO 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well obviously they haven't been too sucessful otherwise we wouldn't still be talking about them. Ultimately without the ability to physically stop us from posting they won't be able to effectively shut us up, only attempt to dissuade us.

It wouldn't surprise me if Lemmy.ml defederates from the entirety of SJW.

They've kind of shot themselves in the foot though. I'm sure they want to do that but they have so many communities that are on the platform that don't really prescribe to their core philosophy that they receive huge backlash if they actually did that.

I actually wish they would try it, as it would be really funny.
