"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, 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.

A lot of ignorance is just a story convincing enough to be memetic, and social truth is about as intelligent as pond scum, because it is that shallow social reaction.
The social truth is also aggressively defended. You'll have academics explaining how this is an issue based on definitions bounded for utility in the form of heuristics specialized for social communicablility.
Does anyone remember all the annoying kids ranting about social constructs? Most things are social constructs. Just like doors, windows, and the boundable complexities around when a door is a window, or when they are neither.
Fighting that doors can't be windows is dumb when I have door windows and window doors.
Imtersex people exist. Trans animals exist, and some species are not clearly boundable /definable by that anthropocentric oversimplification.
If only we had cooperative social values for actually understanding the world.
just say 'talk' (accessible language is a cooperative social value)
whose alt are ya?
why should i answer that?
cuz alts aren't allowed, you'll get booted
you can use your main, it's all good, unless you're from a defederated instance?
could you point me to the site rules? i'm trying to familiarize myself, if i need to make only one account i will do that, the federation contingency attached to all the posting dynamics here makes it a bit of a headache but i want to act consistent with platform rules.
the site rules are usually on the homepage for each instance. so for SJW it's here
For lemmy.world it's here
They're mostly all the same rules in every instance
i initially signed up defederated but i have not been on in three years. i am a socialist, i just want a place to post anonymous love letters and this is the instance where that's possible 🤷♀️
that's cute!
whats your main
can i dm you?
sure
