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.
I just love the irony.
We are anti-imperialists!
China is the bestest country on earth! Allowing Winnie the Xi to install himself as a life-long leader is democratic, because clearly everyone likes him so much that it would be unfair to deprive them of his leadership!
That and the whole Russia annexing Crimea
"But we are red-fash"
'Fascism is actually democracy'
they try to dunk on a bot lol
And the cherry on top, 'The EU are actually the real nazis'
You know, maybe Reddit wasn’t that bad of a site after all…
They're really bent out of shape about Fediseer thing. "Unknown technology" meme material.
Looks like they REALLY don't have half a clue of how the Fediseer works LMAO.
An instance removing their endorsement simply means that the admin PERSONALLY doesn't appreciate your content. The opposite is also true: censures and hesitations mean that the admin either doesn't like you or thinks you are dangerous. That's it, end of story. Some people have their defed lists syncronized with Fediseer but a censure doesn't automatically mean defederation.
And most importantly, from experience I can say no one ever looks at that "censure list" they mentioned. Rather, you look for an instance and weight the pros and cons by looking at the reasons behind their endorsements and censures.
BTW the name of the censuring instances are very much public and available:
