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. β Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech β You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia β (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 β 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 β 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.
And for the record, there was nothing even remotely racist in my comment. Dessalines just can't accept being wrong. π€·π»ββοΈ
UPDATE : I am (almost) sad to report the ban only extends to memes@lemmy.ml !
Also, I found the original comment, here it is (and if you see what's racist about it, please tell me, I'm open to being wrong about this, although I really doubt it) :
( Update 2 : cropped the second image properly )
Lemmy: "China gov bad."
Lemmygrad: Source!? Banned for racism.
Lemmygrad: "USA gov bad."
Lemmy: Nods vigorously. Rambles in agreement.
Two governments canβt be bad at the same time. Thatβs just science.
Off topic, but I like your avatar. Is that from JL, YJ or something else?
Young Justice. Good eye! Extra 2 points if you can remember who is under the helmet in that one.
Eye color and hair is wrong for Zatanna, not Kaldur either... Been too long since I watched the show, heh. I think I actually missed the last season, so I'll have to fix that!
Anyway, I gave up and had to look it up. Looks like Wally going by the eyes, I forgot about that!
lemmy.dbzer0.com [chad]: βAll governments are badβ

What's funny is often the "USA government bad" isn't enough, and they have to pile on top until it's ridiculous.
Like, guys, we started this conversation with gulags. The Trail of Tears really isn't part of this conversation.
And also, like, we fucking know.
