"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.

It's always so cute seeing Hexbear users fail time and time again at how the fediverse works. Remember when they made posts saying, "Hey, we gotta get more opinions and diversity!" and less than a day they bugged out?

This poor comrade had to go through a list of 60 different users to ban them from posting on Hexbear!

Oh? you didn't get your ban message? That's because Hexbear is defederated, lmao, they keep going through three separate communities posts, from beginning to end, banning users who are already banned!

Wow, they actually were talking about me. That admin is really arrogant.

'Someone discussed us somewhere else - unacceptable.'

Uh huh.

It's pathetic. I wish I could laugh at this example, but it's just really... sad.

Typical ML. If there's something they like more than a good purge, it must be to justify it.
