"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.

Can we get something more exciting than getting banned on Lemmy.ml for perfectly fine speech?

Well one of the mods over there is a clearly pro-Russian account.

I've been banned from that community (and all others on Lemmy.ml he is a mod on) several times by this account: davel@lemmy.ml

https://reddit.moonbeam.town/u/davel@lemmy.ml

https://lemmygrad.ml/u/davel

He absolutely refuses to answer the question "are you pro-Russian" while fiercely touting Russian propaganda, saying Russian propaganda doesn't exist at all, denying Uighur genocide, advocating against Ukraine, all that jazz.

Ten bucks says he comes here whining about stalking again while refusing to answer if he supports Putler or not.

Tankies will never, ever wander outside of their safe spaces. Despite them being able to talk here, none do it, mainly because then they'd have their bigotry and extremism challenged.

True enough.

let's see if we can't ping him here though @davel@lemmy.ml idk how the pings work on Lemmy if the last didn't ping him lol

I bet he reads it though.

No doubt there's russia government propaganda out there but advocating against the ukrainian authoritarian government is not automatically "enemy" propaganda

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Advocating against Ukraine in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war, by spreading pretty much verbatim what Russian state news is touting.

I got banned from the world news community on lemmy.world because I respectfully and politely disagreed with a moderator. https://lemmy.world/comment/12426224
