Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(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.
Quotes incoming, have to copy paste
Yeah totally. I just instance blocked it to avoid stumbling in again.
Moreover I'm not missing ml I browse all and sometimes would find myself in a thread.
I more wanted to hear from non ml types if the opinion that "Hamas is a terrorist org and Palestine is a community of civilians experiencing genocide" was somehow bigoted
Some instance owners have blocked ml and there are are occasional discussions of broader action.
I haven't fully blocked it yet as there are some neutral communities that are still fun. Anything related to news or politics is on my blocklist, for sure.
Yes I lost those neutrals lol. Oh well, I just hate having a modlog implying I used a racial slur (if someone happens to be familiar with the instance rules), when I didn't.
Insert my original "shrug" emoji here. It's not a big deal and finding one log with one mods opinion isn't what I would consider a trend.
