"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.

"For life in all its forms"

... except fish, apparently?

[–] Alto@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fish know what they did

[–] vaalla@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sex in the drinking water.

[–] nutlink@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Well that explains why the oceans are so salty.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The land animals are pure.

But the fish have sinned!

[–] divineslayer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Except for the sheep. The sheep lie.

For their brand of humor, this one is actually pretty funny (and blatant so it works in text).

But it's very probable that it will draw comments actually advocating for atrocities

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't disagree normally, except that Hexbear users have a very real chance of believing that 9/11 was in some way deserved. Context quickly sours jokes which are already borderline.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I tried to convey that with the second point

[–] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FBI would have so much work documenting them on domestic terrorist watch list

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Nah these guys are super passive. They won't ever do anything violent or drastic against the state.

Imagine how bad this person would be if they went full vegan.

[–] Draconic_NEO@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

It's almost like they're trying on purpose to be as inflammatory as possible, I know they're not and they're 100% serious which makes it even crazier, I mean this is the kind of shit edge-lord teenagers say, just goes to show just how sad and immature these losers are.

It's a hate instance run by the developers of Lemmy

[–] Maddison@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://lemmygrad.ml/

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?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 (5 children)

but you all oppose glorifying dictatorships.

I will drink to that :')

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.

[–] Maddison@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah? do you have a link please? I don't get it completely, but I guess I want to see it for myself

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

You can access all instances by visiting "Instances" at the bottom of each Instance page.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Fish aren't animals?
