"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.

"Downvotes are transphobic"

Modern tankies are insane.

Classic tankies were insane too, but literally transphobic.

Oh my God this is fucking gold. "I'm fine providing critical support for anti-trans tyrants but I draw the line at downvotes " holy shit.

And it just keeps getting better after that...

"My trans gf goes to another school y'all."

"We might need lemmygrad as backup."

Ok, I'm now convinced that they are actually all teenagers.

You only just realized that they're all teenagers?

Oh man this is gold.

Complaining about queerphobia while posting Stalin, prime 🐔 material

Skimmed through this and in the span of probably two minutes read some of the most terminally online stuff ever. I'm gonna go kiss my kid on the forehead now and then rake some leafs in the yard.

Least insane Tankies...

When a marginalised person gets upset at a dickhead for marginalising them and you then utilise "civility" rules against that marginalised person, you are directly taking part in performing an action that marginalises them. You are an oppressor, siding with other oppressors.

Tragedy: the worst person you know just made a great point.

Is the link broken? It just enters an endless loop for me where I have to prove I'm not a robot.
