"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 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 — 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 banned.

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.

Don't engage with Antiyanks -- DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS.

Just like Facebook, Friendica also has a sort of activity center where you can see all previous notifications. It was ~2 years ago when I first discovered Lemmy. Back then, .ml was the most active instance, with Beehaw on the rise as well. I remember I started by posting in non-political communities at first, and nothing bad happened. But the moment I started to show them how brainwashed I was by Western Imperialist propaganda (sic), they immediately resorted to downvoting all my posts and comments like crazy - be them political or not. Below there's a screenshot with my beloved Russian Government shill living somewhere in the West, Yogthos gave me a downvote (dislike) to a post I did in a test community. Don't even know why they bothered, since neither Lemmy and especially Friendica do not have imaginary points for activities on posts and comments. But there's that, lol.
