"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.

The fuck part of rule 1 did they break? The .ml admins must be fun at parties.

Rule 1 according to .ml sidebar: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

"Supporting Ukraine is supporting NAZIS! Only supporting civilians having their hands tied behind their backs and shot in the head by Russian invaders for the crime of being Ukrainian is the True Anti-Bigot Position."

Looks like they don't give a shit about rule 1 themselves... very hypocritical.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

That's always the rule cited. Tis bigotrous against the enlightened (Eastern European) imperialists.

[–] AMillionNames@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Well informed and respectful response? Bigot, out with you! But calling Ukraine "the empire's Nazi regime", totally not racism or bigotry.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Russia propaganda is that Ukraine is occupied by Nazis and they liberate them. .ml admin can still be liberal minded if they don't have access to other sources. Not that they are, i don't know if they are.

Ukraine is xenophobic against Russian citizens in their country!
