"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.

NCD has a user that promotes the use of illegal chemical weapons. This screenshot comes from a thread where we were discussing federation where these posts are saved to servers we pay for. This isn't fair and toxic that we are targeted like this.
This isn't funny. Nobody is subhuman and nobody deserves to suffer in a gas attack and this isn't something that we want on our server. We do not deserve to be targeted and mocked like this for posting online or opinions. We wanted to have a discussion about it and instead people posted it immediately on a meta community to manipulate votes and opinions.
I am not a tankie but I do not need to silence them or mock them this community and targeting people is extremely toxic.
Uh. That literally comes from a thread on chemical weapons in the US Civil War and somebody discussing whether chemical weapons are actually effective. I'm starting to think you're not arguing in good faith.
It doesn't fucking matter what context they support the usage of chemical weapons, especially when you have a high visible community promoting defense spending and military.
How empty and pathetic is your life? You are targeting people for no reason for harassment because they don't agree with you? You think this is OK? This is extremely toxic behavior and it is hard to believe you are an adult and you act this way. Fuck all the way off and leave me and my friends alone.
Uh, sorry that you don't like it when you blatantly lie and are called out on it, lmao.
Literally isn't about supporting the use of chemical weapons at all, but I suppose literacy is too much to ask, lmao.
Looks like they deleted their account
Bizarre.
I've encountered that a few times too!
I wonder if it's the same guy deleting his accounts
Not really, considering whose alt it was.
I can see that. I never messed around with NCD for this exact reason, but I viewed them as an outlier on SJW, mostly.
