"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.

Ok bet, I'll turn it into a satire comm just like I did to !conservative@lemmy.world LMAOO

But fr though, fuck capitalism

It does make it a bit harder to tell when there's an actual right wing poster though now. Much less pushback now that one of c/conservatives is made to be satire. Kind of the ToiletPaperUSA effect, unfortunately.

No way yogthos blocked me. Lmao what a soft tankie

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lol while tankies are quite thin skinned, yogthos didn't block you, your instance blocks him

I thought the same thing for a while before I realized .world banned him too

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH 7 points 6 months ago

Oh shit! Is that the same dumbass tankie that is on mastodon talking about the glories of the USSR that I blocked years ago?

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's just how lemmy.ml is. You get banned for "rule 1" without further explanation. Note that socialism@lemmy.ml's rules are listed as "Rules TBD." There is no "rule 1".

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I believe Rule 1 is the “Lemmy.ml” rule 1

Which is “be civil”(?) or something so generically applied it’s basically “don’t disagree with instance admins stance on the world, this is their echo chamber”

You criticized the heavy handed control of the CCP in a community heavy handedly controlled by the CCP
