Its so gross to have a world news community on that instance.

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.
Lol what's even worse is they have a large Ukraine comm AND a large United States comm lololol
the biggest world news over at lemmy.world has some shit mods in it too. And here I thought lemmy would be superior to reddit.
I'd rather have a comm with poor moderators over ones moderating in a way to push a specific agenda.
But there's also [email protected] and [email protected] comms that could use support
That entire post and its accompanying modlog is a real ride. The phrase "slava Ukraini" is now explicitly removal-worthy all by itself, apparently. I think Operation Spider's Web might have gotten under someone's skin a little
risks nuclear retaliation
Boy do I got a bridge for you all to take collective ownership of, ml.
Since the full scale invasion, the russians have threatened nuclear retaliation hundreds of times.
While we've been directly targetted not only their strategic bombers, but also their over the horizon radars (and not only ones in Crimea) that are critical for their nuclear early warning system.
At this point, it's hard to take any of their threats seriously
Naked Capitalism was my introduction to tankieism. Though lately they seem to be taking Trump to task after years of decrying Trump Derangement Syndrome in everyone more liberal than Mussolini.
Complete dickheads.
Oh neat, I had some fun in that post the other day. Yogthos is still just an absolutely awful human being, and has fully embraced Chan-isms. Who could have seen that coming?
