"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.

Attitude is public (I can see yours at 88%, I'm currently sitting at 90%).

Reputation is not (though not sure to what degree - is anything on the fediverse not public?), I think it's visible to moderators and/or instance owners. Everyone can see if you're a total dickwad though:

I wish that feature would make it to voyager.

Oh thanks for the response, my instance does not seem to give me that information unfortunately, although those icons do seem familiar I just checked the page on my instance and I've no such attitude checker icon, neither on the comment nor their profile, running through context, which follows under the host instance's site, I see nothing either.

I guess that is a reason to start looking at other instances on lemmy or piefed for a second account and or write my instance and ask for that although I hate to demand they work more for free I appreciate the work they've done already.

I think lemmy.today is lemmy, not piefed. Attitude and reputation are piefed features.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 22 hours ago

Oh I see yes sorry I should've realized that was just a piefed feature not sure how other instances work though I am relatively knew here from reddit which I hate and distrust the administration of even as there are a lot of great people on there.

Seems like a very doable add on for lemmy though, if even one wrote some base code change for it other developers of other instances of lemmy could add it in with minimal effort I would think, although I know little of developing internet sites admittedly. I don't see why one would not want that information added.
