"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.

"All Israelis are enemy combatants" is some real high-level brainrot. Jesus Christ.

Tankies try not to justify genocide (impossible)

Disgusting. Additional reasons to ban hexbear

you can't ban instances, dude!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

You can defederate them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Are the moderators of individual communities not able to ban or defederate instances from their sub? I can see arguments either way but instance admins should be able to ban them.

this attack on the Rave is obviously the work of Wagner PMC.. this is exactly what they do.. and this online activity by "tankies" is also them..

No wonder I got the usual immature insults spammed by ruzzian keyboard warriors when I commented on a news video covering the war in Israel

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These are tankies? From looking at comments on a few news stories, I just assumed that most people on Lemmy hated Israeles (remember, you can disagree with a government without cheering when any of the governed get murdered).

They are tankies, yes. Most of the content on this community is from Lemmygrad or Hexbear, extremist instances that encourage violence and bigotry.
