"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.

Honestly, can't we defederate from that shithole. I don't see why we need to get a post every other day just to ruin everyone's day

i was recently banned from like 5 different ML communities, no clue why, hi ML admin or mod if you could tell me why that would be cool.

It was probably something stupid i did, i never read rules. (in my defense, they're always the same and i'm never going to follow them lmao) But regardless, silent bans are weird.

So, I blocked the instance about a week ago, I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

I only wonder how the people/government of Mali feel about them using their country's top-level domain for.... Whatever it is they're using it for.

I dunno enough about Mali to really say, but I'm pretty sure that Lemmy.ml has nothing to do with that country... For them the ML means.... Something else entirely.

Well, yeah. Kinda like how most .tv domains don't really have anything to do with Tuvalu, or .io with the British Indian Ocean Territory, etc.

youtu.be is not a Belgian website.

Wait. Isn't World News part of Lemmy.world? Not Lemmy.ml?

You can tell this one is .ml by the way the ban happened.
