"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.

instance boycotting is weird why not petition your admin to defederate or move to an instance that is
We've been trying, very few of the Lemmy instances defederate from .ml even if many defederate from the rest of the Triad because of support and the devs would take it personally (which I mean, fair, given dessalines behavior that has been documented thus far I wouldn't put it past him at all to refuse to help on things for an instance that had the gall to defederate from his)
So it's either boycott or move to PieFed
As soon as I'm back on my meds, I'm moving to Piefed, myself.
i made a piefed social acct just in case, some people moved to piefed world
Or mbin.
Is that actively supported and developed?
i think so. kbin was abandoned. mbin is the successor.
Individuals can also just block instances. I've had .ml blocked for a while now.
I never think about .ml unless someone (who isn't from .ml) complains about .ml.
