"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 as opposed to arguing.

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.

not an example of tankie behaviour. Check out some of the other posts as an example of what sort of posts you should aim for.

I'll be removing this later

  1. "X people should be eliminated" is not fact, it is opinion.

  2. The admins really don't want the smoke of giving aid and comfort to political violence. 8chan got torn down twice over this kind of shit. You shouldn't be fedposting like that anyway for your own sake.

"If you work for the government you're an enemy combatant"

... that's not what combatant means.

If this person is the one who was removed in these screenshots, I really don’t think they’re firing on all cylinders to begin with.

This is by far, the most blatantly obvious YDI that I think I’ve ever seen here. Was this you?

We’re not even on PTB right now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Why is it even here when this has nothing to do with tankies?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I know, but it sure looks like it- doesn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Definitely feels like it, yeah. Can’t tell if this is bait or not though

Very authoritarian, totally unacceptable, suggesting that Israel needs to go further in their destruction of Muslims or wishing for someone to shoot a user are very acceptable things that people should get behind...

Obvious /S...

Edit for context in case links change:
