"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.

Ok bet, I'll turn it into a satire comm just like I did to !conservative@lemmy.world LMAOO
But fr though, fuck capitalism
It does make it a bit harder to tell when there's an actual right wing poster though now. Much less pushback now that one of c/conservatives is made to be satire. Kind of the ToiletPaperUSA effect, unfortunately.
No way yogthos blocked me. Lmao what a soft tankie
Lol while tankies are quite thin skinned, yogthos didn't block you, your instance blocks him
I thought the same thing for a while before I realized .world banned him too
For real? I enjoyed laughing at his idiocy
No you see west is full of nazis therfore Yoghurt is the best.
You are right and i apologize to yogchode
Oh shit! Is that the same dumbass tankie that is on mastodon talking about the glories of the USSR that I blocked years ago?
You criticized the heavy handed control of the CCP in a community heavy handedly controlled by the CCP
Yeah, that's just how lemmy.ml is. You get banned for "rule 1" without further explanation. Note that socialism@lemmy.ml's rules are listed as "Rules TBD." There is no "rule 1".
I believe Rule 1 is the “Lemmy.ml” rule 1
Which is “be civil”(?) or something so generically applied it’s basically “don’t disagree with instance admins stance on the world, this is their echo chamber”
