"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 as opposed to arguing.

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.

Their comment wasn't banned, and comments that called them out were, the instance is complicit whether you like it or not.

Idk men isn't banning opinion you dont like what you're denouncing Lemmy.ml to do ? So you rlly admit it is just about the opinion you like and dont like ?

I'm sorry, please respond more coherently as to why you support someone saying "the french deserve 1000 mass shootings" not being banned and people saying "that's fucked up french people are ok" being banned. I realize your first language is probably french, which makes your stance all the more confusing, so I'm not attempting to denigrate you for mistakes, but the above comment is near incomprehensible and to accurately respond I'd need to understand it.

I'm not really surprised considering you're american I'm even amaze you know what France is. Saying France deserve Charlie Hebdo is 101 free speech and is legal to do long as long as what you say is not considered terrorism apology. So you could blame laxist security policies, politics decision or whatever on it. So let me reitterate with simpler word:

Opinion you considers bad and false != Disallowed opinion This is called free speech while OP spamming Lemmy.ml with low effort troll post is considered spamming.

Sure, but then so is saying "the french aren't that bad."

The part that is weird (and that I'm surprised a frenchman supports) is the part where wishing death on the french is not banned but saying "hey we shouldn't be making death wishes against the french" in response to "more mass shootings in france please" is banned.

Idk you dont point to any actual link for evidence. But there is totally mod abuse on these communities, that happens here aswell as on all others instance.
