"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.

throwing a pipe bomb into an art contest

incredibly good and based

This is what happens when you become consumed by hatred. The most insane statements seem entirely reasonable to them, because they are blinded by fear and hate.

Their love towards Islamic extremism is so strange.

"Leftism" is when a economically right wing authoritarian state opposes America.

Apparently drawing Mohammad is worse than a fucking pipe bomb. Thank God I have the self awareness to browse communities outside of my echo chamber. I wish they did too

"What does this have to do with communism anymore?"

@[email protected] I don't think your post worked out too well 🐔

also I want to point out the amazing differences between these communities. See, you're very much, unapologetically, a tankie, but you're fully allowed to comment and even engage in this community despite your farming and attempted framing that this community is extremist.

Now, if we were to do the same, we'd be defederated. Which we were!

Perhaps you should use the liberty this community has to actually ask for our opinions as opposed to fishing for responses. You'll find we're a very diverse community with many different opinions, some are even communists.

That is psychotic. They recognize it is wrong, too. They would be screeching in apoplectic rage if a radical opposed to their speech were talking about pipe bombing some sort of IRL Hexbear meme reposting event.

They only say it because they're edgy. They are actually very, very passive, i mean they have to put trigger warnings for adult content--If they can't handle seeing violence, they aren't going to do any of it

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

not to shit on content warnings because I appreciate that different people have different things that can be very upsetting to them, but hexbear literally requires warnings on photos of ice cream. or cooked food that could possibly include an animal product even if you can't directly see it or tell the difference. I'm not joking or exaggerating, this caused quite a stir when the admins implemented that policy.

that's hilarious.

how do they expect to be guerillas or handle any revolution? also don't tell them about animal rights in china lmao

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

this type of shit is part of what drove me away from hexbear (yeah I know it's embarrassing). many of them have the opinion that being a dick is worthy of corporal or capital punishment. is it dickish to intentionally trash on another culture's beliefs? probably yeah. but does it justify murder? fucking of course not!

[–] goat 5 points 4 weeks ago

you're not alone. There's quite a few users in this community who are former-hexbear and lemmygrad

"Turnabouts fair play" eh? You heard him folks, time to bomb people who take the lord's name in vain inshallah.

[–] rocket_man 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This is disgusting! How is it legal for them to host this content?

[–] goat 3 points 4 weeks ago

Free speech and all.

you can try reporting them to authorities if you want
