"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.

It's not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

The ideal situation is for them to leave me alone. Why is that not an option?

It's a forum, people are going to reply when you mention them

Can you tell me where I mentioned Flatworm/Unruffled in this thread? https://lemmy.world/post/32430859
Did I mention the others from dbzer0, other than the offending user the thread is about, that came in to talk shit about me?

Did I mention Flatworm/Unruffled or Eugene here where they spouted lies and started shit? https://lemmy.world/post/33338615/18389370

Was I really being so rude and mean by saying "That has not been my experience at all" that made it okay for them to treat me like that?

Why are you defending these people for being such assholes?

Maybe we're not defending we're seeing someone be angry and upset for no reason and asking them to calm down.
