Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

I was just banned for a comment that was critical of kamala Harris, critical of Hamas, pro Palestinian civilians who are suffering genocide from the Israeli government

"Rule 1" and I didn't even use a slur or anything.

I agree with the "settle down" commenter, you come across as uncomfortably aggressive in your comment.

Think about blockingl .ml, they thrive on agitating community members and do not follow their own mod rules.

I guess that's just a general way to talk about a us politician missing the mark, then my own assessment of the better distinction. (Kamala called the entire protest a pro "Hamas" protest rather than a pro "Palestine" protest. Which sucks)

Rule 1 is about racial slurs, so really I'm posting to check if I used one.

Seems I didn't but there's dissent about weather Hamas is a terrorist org. Certainly not a racial slur on my part, but perhaps not aligned with the mod sentiment.

Edit compared to most comments there, and on Lemmy, my comment isn't especially heated.

Edit edit anyways thanks for the reply.

I figured a passionate "fuck the message about the protest, enunciate the important difference between the groups in play" was worthing of being direct and energetic. Y'all see it as too much and that's a good reply.

"Kamala called the entire protest a pro "Hamas" protest rather than a pro "Palestine" protest'

That's fucked.

"Rule 1 is about racial slurs, so really I'm posting to check if I used one"

You didn't, but the mods don't care about their rules over there(even more than on other instances). If they don't personally like it and they see it on their alts, ya banned.

I get plenty heated too, I get it, but in .ml it's like they're deliberately stoking the fires, posting misinformation, and don't care or are happy to see what burns.

Dumpster fire.
