"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 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.

How is that transphobic? Im genuinely asking cos i dont see what ur talking about.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Same. That said, I also don't really care what the Lemmy devs believe, I only care that they make competent software.

I only care that they make competent software.

It'd be nice if they could do that. They spend more time ranting than they do coding.

piedfed is a very good lemmy alternative using the same network. See this our very thread on piefed. It has more features and is faster.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

seems a bit empty. does it connect to the rest of the fediverse?

Yes, I provided a link to this thread viewed through piefed in my last post.

Yeah, sometimes it feels that way.

It's transphobic to call transpeople biological males.

It's very curious that Hexbear doesn't take any issue with this. They did take issue with it until the admins told them to not talk about it, and like good little free-thinkers they no longer do.

The toot didnt do that tho did it?

"allowing biological men to compete in women's sports at the Olympics"

If you don't see how this person is explicitly calling trans women "biological men," congrats on being in the 54%

Yes it did or yes it didnt cos i dont see it?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Literally says 'biological men' right there in the screenshot. Calling trans people biological men is classic transphobia

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee -4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How is an objectivly provable scientific fact that is not disparaging or rude in any way transphobic?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm not going to define transphobia for you. You'll have to do that yourself.

I have to give you a warning to drop this topic

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 0 points 4 days ago

Thats not what i asked. Answer my queation and dont threaten me with baseless warnings it bad faith and literally a call for me to self censor.
