Welcome to MoG!

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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way, this includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
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.

Those are all from the same user, whom I have since punished.
The third one is not the same account. Is it the same user? You tell me, you’re the mod.
So you actually managed to do moderation stuff and banned the fascist for a whole week, congratulations. I am indeed a bit surprised, gj!
How did that came to be? Because every time I pointed out their language, you ignored it, even called me unhinged for articulating a thorough critique. So you didn’t act on the user spewing hate speech, but on the user confronting you with your ignorant inaction. I don’t see how you’re fit for the job, lol.
Regarding the third example: instead of acting on the hate speech for which the user got their comment deleted (they openly fantasized about scenarios on how to kill a whole group of people), you used your energy to smudge the meaning of ableism in order to defend their post complaining about it. You’re still a shady and dishonest human being. And I am sorry, but that’s what I’m getting from your behaviour.
So, what brought you so far to actually ban a fascist for a week, what did he actually say? Because the instances I showed you obviously weren’t bad enough for you to act on it.
they broke the rules
Thanks for your comprehensive answer, lol.
i don't moderate on the basis of my views
