"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.

you misunderstood the whole post. It’s not about “why lemmy so slow development dessaline you slave move your ass”

It’s making fun of him spending so much time at propaganda not literally angry at him for not releasing v3 or whatever

I may have to feature your anonymised comment in my post about lots of users seeming very daft in verbal aptitude

I don’t understand how that isn’t the same thing (though I of course agree that it’s not about literally releasing v3). “why lemmy so slow development dessaline stop wasting time using your own product move your ass”

"If dessalines put their personal politics aside and stopped micromanaging their instance to push an agenda, we'd probably be on like v3 of Lemmy by now"

This post directly calls Dessalines out on not working enough on Lemmy and instead focusing on moderating his instance. I say, telling someone else how they should spend their free time is pure entitlement.

You don't like their modding and their ideology. That is a perfectly reasonable position. Your options are "stop using their instance", "stop using their software", or "fork their software and continue developing it without them". I chose option one and no longer engage with anything on .ml and the likes.

Also, calling me "very daft in verbal aptitude" only debases yourself. Name calling will never convince someone of your position.

You persist being wrong and I couldn’t care less about it

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you didn't care, you wouldn't comment. I haven't read a single convincing argument by you. In fact you haven't made an argument at all. Instead you immediately resorted to personal attacks.

It’s not my job to enlighten you. Some things are just unfixable

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh look, another personal attack. 🤷

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I prefer to just call it stating the obvious

If you were born with certain deficits how else could it be not personal. Of course you will get angry at me pointing it out

However some people do get certain things and some don’t. It’s an unfortunate fact of life and unfair inequality.

I am sorry for bringing it up though. I should have more tact as someone who doesn’t suffer daily from this puzzling ailment
