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. β Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech β You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia β (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 β 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 β 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.

This is not a software issue. We would be facing the same problem on Piefed or Mbin
True and i wrote this post, so i also play a part in this. I'm pondering. We could fork it and separate politic and software. We can also choose our server wich is awesome and thank to Lemmy's dev.
Currently, i'm hesitating because Dessalines is the admin of Lemmy.ml, even tough it's not the biggest instance i consider it as the flagship instance of lemmy.
We did the same debate long ago on Reddit and Lemmy.world. I'm switching my opinion because of Dessalines's participation. I'm less neutral about it.
Another reason, i think those software, even if piefed and sublinks are still beta, are better than Lemmy.
Regarding apps support alone Lemmy is miles ahead the others
Edit: mobile apps
I think there are Pros and Cons.They benefit from an huge community, there is lot help on their Matrix channel and we are available.
I think Mbin has a strong support too. Other, aren't ready for production (i haven't tried to install one yet) but the way they present their project is crystal clear.
Does Piefed also offer a good support if i take a glance on their communitie ?
And the fact Piefed is working since the beggining on a moderation board show they understand well what is at stake on the web.
We still can't add moderator correctly and an admin can delete communities easily without warning.
I meant mobile apps
Sorry, i completly misunderstood and answered off the mark. π°
Yeah lemmy has the best app support. βΊοΈ
