"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.

Who could have guessed, at the first sign of opposition the gays were killed off (figuratively in this case).

the tankies are fighting (again... ~x4~), oh my goosssh

Federating with Hexbear is one of the things I dislike about .ee, but you can't have everything. At least I can block them so I can't see their posts, but their comments are still visible.

[–] goat 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Hey, if you're unhappy about it you can raise a meta-post showcasing the extremism that comes out from hexbear. There's a whole range of examples in this community.

Personally I draw the line at celebrating dictators and their genocides

Long story short lemm.ee doesn't police what users from other instances do on other instances: As long as hexbears behave themselves in lemm.ee communities nothing will happen.

[–] goat 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

musn't be much pushback if Hexbear hasn't blocked lemm.ee

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Hadn't even considered the reverse. The "no bigotry" rule gets enforced for lemm.ee users, also when posting on other instances, which is what everyone on hexbear would agree with would be a defederation-worthy offence. As far as politics are concerned hexbear is quite diverse, from tankies to anarchists, disagreeing about a great many of things. Personally I don't get how the anarchists there can mentally endure sharing an instance with a counter-revolutionary cesspit like [email protected] but then, hey, it's not like I'm about to tell them what to do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I can only hope.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

That's exactly why I moved from .world to mander.xyz.

Not only is it stem focused, I get to block the cretins on my own and choose. Choices are undervalued these days.

"Quick censor the discussion before our narrative gets out of our control!"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

More hate and lies from Lemmy.ml

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

LMAO! "Removed as moderator" You gonna go to his data center and take his stuff? Make your own instance. Defederate from that one. Quit begging for things to happen with others and just do your own fucking things!

Off topic, are there any instances with decent mods that don't ban content they don't like?

[–] goat 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah this instance

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Can recommend mine as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

didnt know marcie is a tankie

[–] goat 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because she recommends Hexbear as opposed to actual safespace instances

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh and her banner has a communist symbol

This is why before creating an account I carefully selected an instance that does not censor free speech.

Holy shit whole instance mobilized for a witch hunt.

Holy shit whole instance mobilized for a witch hunt.

Yeah they do that pretty often. they never manage to get anything done from it, and they get bored real quick.
