"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, 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.

All Ai are hallucinating propaganda nightmares.
They still degrade your cognitive functions and are trained on stolen data. Deep seek is just as corporate and as corrupt with propaganda. Their training sources are still not revealed either.
All Ai is a plague on the planet and a bubble being inflated by the worst shit stains on this globe.
Any Ai simps reading this, go touch grass and please get some therapy from an actual professional human.
I'm not much of a fan of AI either, but we can't exactly remove it.
Yes we can. Just don’t use it. I don’t see it anywhere in my life except the occasional article here that gets past my filters.
The bubble is going to pop soon enough and like with NFTs the tech bros will eventually make their way back into their sweaty caves.
Bwhahaha you’re fucking hysterical. Which straw man are you talking to?
This conversation is about Ai slop and you come barging in about blabbering about gaza as if we don’t know it’s a fucking tragedy.
Saying Ai is bad does not take away from other evils in this world.
Now go take your ass out of your head and stop assuming other people’s situations.
Every website and platform is going to have shitbags.
Go touch some grass and grow up.
Your username is also fucking pathetic.
Ah, you've encountered antiyanks, resident nutter. He'll be back, we all love him
Pandora's box is opened, wrt AI. I don't know what to do about it and it doesn't improve our lives - but we also can't un-fuck what it's brought. It's made disinformation much cheaper and faster to spread, for both state actors and non-state actors. And the fact that you can run a LLM on an ordinary (if high-end) consumer computer means it's not going away completely. We're stuck with this.
That’s like saying you are stuck wearing one pair of underwear. 😂
You have the choice not to wear it. You can choose to change your clothes.
You can choose not to run software that was trained on stolen data and hallucinates misinformation. Easy.
Literally the only place I see any Ai slop is here. The only place I hear it’s inevitable is here. And that’s only what gets past all my filters.
The bubble is going to pop and the same people pushing this agenda like NFTs are going to go crawling back into their corporate sweaty shitholes where they can come up with the next big vice capitalist scam.
Any Ai simps like tech bros pushing NFTs and crypto gets blocked.
Yeah, that doesn't stop other people from using it, spreading it, and mistaking it. Politicians are openly sharing AI videos and claiming them as true. AI content is often spread untagged precisely because it is intended to pass as 'genuine' engagement. Fuck, I myself mistook an AI pic for an aesthetic photo just the other day because I wasn't looking closely.
Misinformation doesn't go away just because you, personally, refuse to generate it and try to keep an eye out for it.
Yes and like all the other slop out there before it, it’s always going to be a personal decision to filter what you consume.
The abundance of Ai slop is only going to degrade the lowest of efforts. Real humans art is always going to stand out from the slop.
Like religion, it’s only as real as the individual consuming the propaganda.
Just another garbage human trait to add to the don’t engage with list. Like being religious or a republican.
Oh and also maybe elect smarter leaders without corporate totalitarian agendas. Just saying…
