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.

Joseph Stalin banned all other art styles other than something called Socialist Realism. Most of the propaganda posters you find from the USSR are drawn in that style. Tbh it's a cool art style.
Remember, every poster was drawn by someone who wanted to present an image. Not necessarily of reality but of what they want you to see. Young men standing at attention, at the age of 18.
My dad brought some items home from former Soviet countries. He brought a poster and a KGB border patrol hat. The poster has a bunch of really good looking people on it and glorious events at the Union's highest moments.
The Border patrol hat though, fine looking as it was, was very small where the wearer couldn't have been more than 12 or 13.
