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.

Gender queer specifically has a picture of a blowjob. It's explicit. It's not meant to titalate, it's meant to prevent the book from being put on school shelves so the author can complain conservatives are oppressing free speech.
Most lgbtq books are fine. It's that one specifically that keeps coming up. It's just bait.
Is that why you post from a server that doesn't report downvotes? Your view of Lemmy is through rose tinted glasses.
can you mention that book though?
All karma means is how much you circlejerk. That's it.
It's obvious you feel that way. That's why you won't accept a single negative viewpoint. Your server highlights every time someone celebrates you but not any time somebody disagrees with you. Sounds pretty snowflake to me.
I don't think they have any clue that next to that fairy tale fascist mod, they're one of the most downvoted regulars of the echo chamber. Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is conservative.
