Welcome to MoG!

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.

If you think that's misrepresenting the situation, you either don't know the situation or are complacent in it. Either way makes you a poor admin. Hence why I have blocked your instance.
So you keep saying. I don't just think that, I know that. And given that it's very easy for people to call us out on it officially and yet nobody seems to want to, I'm fairly confident we've taken the right decision. Unlike other instances, we welcome criticism of admin actions as we don't think we're infallible.
Can't complain about the mod and admin abuse on your instance when the mods and admins doing the abuse banned people from the community used to report mod/admin abuse.
Do you even check your own mod logs?
It's a bit of a conflict of interest if the place used to publicly report mod/admin abuse keeps shutting down any and all reports of your own mods and admins.
Why not use !modabuse@lemmy.sdf.org or whatever other secondary ypt community there is?
Because that goes against their bias about db0 not tolerating their bad faith.
In this instance, someone else already brought it up there the other day.

And how/why is that relevant?
