"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

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. — 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.

It is sad that the lead Lemmy developer is such a terrible person, Lemmy itself is pretty great.
I am concerned about what makes it to the hot "all" page since the last update though.
Says you, the mod that regularly removes posts for the remotest suggestive violence against a man who is so deprived of any human decency he is the most violent indirect machine gun of our modern era, killing and displacing hundreds if not thousands daily with taxpayer money. And guys like you with your hands waving up and down “calm calm now people, there may be a moment and time for a violent overthrow of this guy, but that moment isn’t now and that place isn’t here”
Pardon my French, but in my book you’re on the same level as the Lemmy devs.
We can have a discussion about that. Here is my reasoning, since if you look at any of my posts, I really don't like the man.
You can disagree with the above. If you notice, I don't ban people unless they get super trolling about the removal of the comment.
Historically you have had an extremely loose definition of a "call for violence".
I understand where they are coming from.
Historically?
Your past record.
Its late, I'm tired, you get what you get.
Lol, have a good night.
I will just as soon as my youngest gives up and goes to sleep so I can too....
Good god, it’s worse than I thought.
There’s not really any discussion necessary. The more depraved he gets, the more you’ll look like an enabler. Certainly with those straw man arguments.
A mod has to keep the community they mod safe, and to an extent keep the top level posts and comments on topic. Nobody elected you and you are actively censoring. Like RT, Fox, and Chinese state television.
TIL the censoring mod on Lemmy is against assembly or group revolution, but doesn’t mind snipers taking a shot. K.
What? I'm saying it's super easy to encourage violence for others to do, but sit safe in your home while you watch the world burn. I think you might have lost the plot.
Mate, not everyone is in the US. Due to a hiccup in globalisation, elections over there have no integrity and a child pedophile has been tearing down stuff which affects the whole fucking world.
If I was there, I wouldn’t hesitate a second to rise a mob against him, but I’m not, and I obviously will never be. Some of us can only support possible violence from a distance.
Anyway, you’re already at the name calling stage, so I’m not going to change your mind, just know each time you’re “not banning” someone, you’re still reducing the online appearance of dissent and therefore making it look like people are okay with his bullcrap. You are painting and coercing a picture, and that picture is regime friendly.
Why aren't you flying here and doing something about it? I mean it, it effects you. Last comment.
Why would I help Americans at all? They voted to bomb my friend. Fuck america
From the people that banned "from the river to the sea" because that was a "call to genocide" lmao
Oh? Anything specific that you have noted?
I didn't have to look for things before the update, now I have to actually go to certain communities to find new posts. None of my community's posts have a chance to make it to all anymore. Before, one or two would sneak in. I don't really care about that for my community, but it concerns me that it seems to be curated. It makes me wonder what else is being blocked.
Maybe check the code idiot
No u
You're being brainwashed
Hey, your account is two hours old, you clearly created it just to piss people off, someone with such an empty life as you seem to have should find something better to fill it with.
At least he's not in Ukraine thinking he will win the war on Russia's side...
I know one guy in ukraine. He doesn't go out because he fears being kidnapped and sent to the frontline
And I know a guy in who is only still breathing because he ran on a visa so he doesn't get sent into the meat grinder for ruzzia.
2 can play that game
