"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 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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
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.

MODERATORS
I’m not sure why people waste their time on these subs.
These aren’t places for useful discussion on improving society, especially in the US. They are full of people who don’t even really share or uphold socialist views, but are engaging to disrupt and affect the vote or contaminate the outlook of younger progressives.
They’re on Team Trump, Netanyahu and Putin and if they aren’t operatives themselves, they’re farmed useful idiots. I hate saying that about the latter, because they’re essentially good people led down the wrong path. That said, they’re also quite irresponsible.
There’s no space for genuine discussion in those places. You’ll first be bullied by fools then removed when you present arguments. Don’t waste your time.
Well, that’s sad.
Does the shoe fit?
Lovely.
If you didn’t vote I don’t have any sympathy for you. Your wife yeah and doubly so because she’s got to put up with…how did you put it…a piece of shit like you as well as watch you (not) vote to deport her.
Unless of course you did vote and vote Harris, in which case I don’t know why you’re mouthing off.
I’m sorry to hear that
I’m not an American.
I never said that at all, nor do I believe it.
Well perhaps if irresponsible people such as yourself learned the limits of your political process and voted accordingly people your country wouldn’t be there and others wouldn’t think that.
