Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(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.
After the tragedy, hexbears swarmed posts on lemmy.ml with vicious antisemitism and calls for violence.
Now that evidence has debunked Hamas propaganda they've gone into hiding in their echo chamber to cope and seethe. It's crickets from them in the wider fediverse while their own megathread is popping off.
Some super hot takes in there, you've been warned.
Don't know that initially thinking that the incident was Israel is 'Hamas propaganda', but the absolute certainty of tankies that their chosen side is incapable of making shitty munitions is... astounding.
The key to covering drama is to blow everything completely out of proportion.
But on the other hand, if your immediate reaction to hearing "...according to Hamas" is "death to Israel" then you're huffing propaganda.
