"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.

MODERATORS
I am concerned about what makes it to the hot "all" page since the last update though.
Says you, the mod that regularly removes posts for the remotest suggestive violence against a man who is so deprived of any human decency he is the most violent indirect machine gun of our modern era, killing and displacing hundreds if not thousands daily with taxpayer money. And guys like you with your hands waving up and down “calm calm now people, there may be a moment and time for a violent overthrow of this guy, but that moment isn’t now and that place isn’t here”
Pardon my French, but in my book you’re on the same level as the Lemmy devs.
We can have a discussion about that. Here is my reasoning, since if you look at any of my posts, I really don't like the man.
You can disagree with the above. If you notice, I don't ban people unless they get super trolling about the removal of the comment.
Historically you have had an extremely loose definition of a "call for violence".
I understand where they are coming from.
Historically?
Your past record.
Its late, I'm tired, you get what you get.
Lol, have a good night.
I will just as soon as my youngest gives up and goes to sleep so I can too....
