"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 it 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.
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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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 banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Sorry but I dont sugar coat the word to holdback progress, development or accomplishment.
Total humbug it is censoring ones self.
But thank you for your input
I don't think ypu using offensive language casually is a sign of progress.
Sometimes adults censor themselves out if consideration for others. Perhaps ypu should consider acting like a mature adult.
Or try and get off your fucking pedistal and grow a pair?
I'd be the first person to give you the shirt iff my backnor part of my meal. And because of my language you assume Im a POS.
Try growing up eh?
You think intentionally offending others out of a sense of entitlement is being an adult? Most adults understand basic manners which you are objecting to so you can hopefully understand why others aren’t receptive to your view here.
No, I dont spend the time getting upset over nothing. Thats what adulting does to ya. Again grow the fuck up

We aren’t talking about “getting upset over nothing”. We are talking about your choice to intentionally be rude. Grown adults behave civilly around others and those that cannot do so or choose to not do so are aberrant.
You aren’t in a position to tell anyone to grow up given what you have said here, boy.
Youre upset that I used a word... That seems very grown up...
