"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.

thats what happens in a democratic country even communist nations are full of hatefull conservatives and they end up in authority
i am sure the people's republic will change this agenda as the younger generation comes into voting age. i hope for the same here
Because there are so many different parties to choose from in china, right?
There is a lot of em!
havent you seen leftist there is like 800 different kinds of commy!
Huh, didn't know that 1 person making themselves dictator for life was considered democratic.
By way of advice, I don't think "capitalists do it too!" is a great way to excuse China's behavior. But I agree with you in the hope that as younger people gain more power, they'll eliminate these harmful homophobic policies.
Lots of young people are bigots, and remember that every old bigot was once young as well. Bigotry can very easily be transferred from generation to generation if it is deeply ingrained in societal norms and structures.
