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.

I got caught up in this purge. I called everyone's favorite lemmy.ml tankie worldnews troll a racist for suggesting I have never been to HK and explained I have family in China and have been many times. That made him big mad. This was after he removed the agency of ten million Ukrainians by suggesting they were CIA shills.
Apparently you are not allowed to express a stake in Chinese society on lemmy.ml. Tankies really hate it when people with actually experience with autocratic regimes burst their circlejerk.
Edit - the modlog shows it was actually over a different comment I guess.
Do you still have those comment chains?
Actually according to to modlog I guess the specific comment they removed was a pretty obvious joke "Ok you can fuck right off and go be a degenerate tankie elsewhere but that's kind of funny ngl." I just assumed it was the other thread. Didn't realize you can actually search the modlog not logged in.
I guess they actually just don't like being called out.
I know virtually nothing about tankies but it sounds like their beliefs are really twisted around and confusing.
Like all extremists
