"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/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.

That’s what an instance ban looks like.

You are ideologically impure to dedicated Marxists and they want you off their China-Russia-loving server.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're faking an instance ban with a script or something, I've confirmed I'm not actually instance banned (but I was before for like 2 months of my 1 year sentence lol)

[–] diplodocus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You were wrong the last time you said you weren’t site banned, and you’re wrong this time too.

I certainly was right the last time, you can see the site ban reversal right there, not sure why you'd leave that out of your screenshot 🤔

~~However this time is odd, I just tested it again so something weird is going on or they broke their site ban mechanism lol, see look I was able to post a comment on a random thread on a comm that isn't on the list on the mod log: https://lemmy.world/comment/16086340 that should not happen with a true site ban~~

NVM, I forgot the ban mechanism is still weird AF and I had to check it from a different instance

It's true HUZZAH! my site ban has been RESTORED

My achievement is unlocked once more

Yea I just edited it, I realized like minutes after posting lolol

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

I’m just going to point out that these loons don’t necessarily represent all dedicated Marxists. Some of them are chill.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fedi does have a lot of mentally unhinged modding like this.

I didn't like what you said on another server. I mod communities so I am banning you 🤡

This behaviour is indicative of not being mentally stable IMHO

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was Dessalines that did it actually, so even worse, since they're an admin and don't even directly mod most of those comms.

Maybe they should spend less time micromanaging .ml and focus on Lemmy software since they're just "so busy", but that's just my opinion lol

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fun link, Dessalines dude banned me too today. Only a 14 days ban though.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh hey! I just posted your banning here lmao

Don't ya know, There's No Over-Controlling Government in ~~Ba Sing Se~~ China lol

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The logo of this Lemmy page is brilliant though aha

[–] terusgormand8465@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Should post on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, give these idiots more coverage. Maybe then people will do something about them being the default for so many communities.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

YPTP is more for OOP to bring attention to it, per the rules. MWOG however, is more for documentation, which anyone can and should do

It might not get the biggest attention when it's posted, but it's here and ready to be referenced at any time it's needed. It will be a lot easier to petition admins to defed when you can give them a long list of evidence, for example

[–] terusgormand8465@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But you are the original person who was banned here, so it seems perfect.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shit yea you're right, I thought this was on a different post LMAO I've been posting a lot here lately 😅

Yea I suppose I do have the right to post there, I prob should...

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Congrats! I have only managed a ban on most of the news and meme communities. I am too lazy to check if my bans were temporary or perm. (However, if someone happens to have the ml modlog open and can do a search for me, that would be neat...)

I think I almost got one of their mega news-posters crying, I think. It's been a bit, but I choose to remember it that way.

One day, we will all achieve your greatness comrade. 🫡⚒️

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I got you bro, I always have the .ml modlog nearby LMFAO

Looks like you only have 1 perm ban for comics, everything else were temps and expired

Also,

LMAO, tsk tsk, how Rule 1 bigoted of you lolol

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Interesting. I have more removals than that, I know.

Sigh. My biggotisims run deep and wide, unfortunately.

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just block .ml. Life is genuinely better because you don't have to endure the brainrot in your feed.

I wish I could block any .ml with interacting with me ngl

[–] terusgormand8465@lemmings.world -1 points 1 year ago

If you're banned content doesn't federate to them. Best thing to do would be to get them to ban you permanently with content removal. No more MLs now or ever.

Why is everybody so freaked out by dissent here? I mean on all sides. Everybody on lemmy seems hard at work chopping it up into little monocultural kingdoms.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its so surprising that the user complaining about lemmy.ml the most got banned from lemmy.ml communities.

This is the most reasonable ban out of the unreasonable bans on lemmy.ml

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Not really, one of their top complaints of the non-Tankie instances on the rest of the Lemmy-verse is how "Reddit-like" the mods and admins are

Banning someone for their participation elsewhere is quite literally out of the power tripping Reddit-mod playbook and everything I've done has been off the .ml instance

So it's calling out their hypocrisy/projection
