"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?
(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.
Or just reddit normies, I am as confused as to what they mean as they are.
A concerned hexbear gets bad tummy aches browsing our instance.
But their pig shit emoji spam is educational, of course!
ahaha, oh man that's hilarious how fast they turned.
"YEAH! WE GET TO SHOW THOSE CHUDS WHO'S BOSS!"
not even a day later
"muuum, can you pick me up, i'm scared!"
"God I get so much anxiety when I spam emojis and JAQ off in public! This must be the liberals' fault"

On the thread announcing the immediate defederation from "sh.itholefor.nazis", a user complaints that interacting with our instance gave them anxiety, just as bad as debating users or reddit. They named reddit "stormfront", to insinuate that for them, reddit is filled with nazis. Though maybe they meant stormfront.org, a place filled with actual nazis.
awwwh, how are they going to overthrow the west and uproot the entirety of capitalism when lil' internet forums make them anxious? :(
tbf I feel like I would have more success in channeling my anxiety into violence than channeling my anxiety into generating more anxiety.

It's the former. The image with snoo and stormfront is their way of referring to reddit.
It's hilarious how the tankies consistently disappoint when it comes to... well pretty much anything.
Hexbear defederation was being discussed on lemmy.world cause the admins were explicitly suggesting infiltration and subversion, but the stock of invincible antifa supersoldiers/sons of the proletariat/volunteer redguards seems to be defective yet again.
I low-key love that the federal approach to social media means they always have an eject button ready to fuck off into the void of their echochamber at the slightest sign of push back, cause I've never seen a path of least resistance a commie didn't love and immediately follow.
