"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.

Wait, are you talking about https://lemmygrad.ml/ ? These people are serious right? I take that the people of MeanwhileonGrad community are not marxists but somewhat anti-marxists?

The people featured in this image are from Hexbear, but they are closely related to lemmygrad. Both Hexbear and Lemmygrad are fully serious

The community here is quite diverse, some users are marxists, some are liberals, neoliberals, environmentalists, etc~

[–] Maddison@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

but you all oppose glorifying dictatorships.

I will drink to that :')

They're saying that the people on this community hate dictatorships.

tankies love dictatorships as long as they show some sign of communist value. like north korea or china

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure Maddison is talking about the community members here opposing dictators, not tankies.

We still can’t block instances, can we?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Not yet, no. I have doubts the lemmy devs want to implement that.
