"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.

I mean in fairness, voting for this post is currently sitting at negative 84, with most of the top comments yelling at OP for being stupid.

There's a certain amount of .ml stupidness in the comments, too, but it's in the minority.

You mean most top comments yelling redacted

Lmao

You are completely right. I spoke too soon.

Dude, what the fuck am I doing lending my attention to a platform which features a core developer this stupid?

Haha, yeah, I'm fairly new so I followed a random meme page, and here I am 🤣

I guess that Jews are out of the white people club in their book. Can't try and post as 'America only supports white people' otherwise.

I posted a Russian neo-nazi flag and medal on that post in an attempt to poke the bear. It would have been awesome to get a half-ass attempt to explain it away with a good-nazi vs. bad-nazi schtick.)

The OP of that post is just an .ml troll, btw. I already have a few ideas for a parody account of that person, so feel free to add any ideas you might have for something like that.
