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.

They were very effective at starving people, waffen-ss level effectiveness.
Ahh yes propaganda campaign... Did anyone die?
This conversion is clown. Stalin murders millions of people... But have you thought about the jews🤡
You're being really weird if you specifically take offence to me mentioning Jews as one of these minorities. I also mentioned Ukraine as a part of these minorities to distinguish how each was treated: Jews were purged, Ukrainians were starved, Gays were locked up and unprotected. I can go on...
It's pretty telling that you're just being antisemitic, so I'm giving you a warning to knock it off; no hate speech is allowed here.
No offense, only pointing out bias
Bias? Bias of what? Jews? I even mentioned queers in the same comment you took issue with, but you're not whining about queers, now are you?
Jews were a crucial part of World War 2, and especially in the soviet union. The union's antisemitism pokes a big hole in the whole tankie rhetoric that 'the Soviet Union actually saved World War 2 and the Jews!'
Coaching USSR in this context... Original comment started with that.
Anyway... Gays too tbh. Again it is a bias.
Yes thee groups were victims of the regime but highlighting them essentially glosses over what happened. But thats just my opinion .
But they specifically mentioned Nazis, hence why I brought up Jews and Queers, both explicit victims of the holocaust. But you said nothing about Queers, despite that still being 'Western bias.'
You've got a clear problem with Jews, and antisemitism isn't allowed in this community per instance rules. So you're getting a final warning to fully drop the topic, since your comments really are appreciated--Just not when it's antisemitic.
