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.

I disagreed about AI, sure. Disagreements happen, not a big deal. The real issue was the fact they were assholes to me about it and making insane claims.
No, not even remotely! What the fuck? That user was digging through people's history to find anything they can try to use to harass them with and resorting to straight up lies to do so. I mentioned that in the fucking post. They even posted a completely unrelated porn image in that community that explicitly forbids it. How in the fuck is any of that justification to start shit?
Holy fucking shit dbzer0 people are absolutely batshit insane.
At this point it's a you vs them question, and interpretation of what happened.
Unless you get another external perspective on it (e.g. LW mods), it's probably going to stay like this.
You're fucking insane if you even slightly think their behavior is okay. It's not a "two sides" situation in any stretch of the imagination. Just leave me alone.
both of you can drop it now. You're both spamming up the report queue.
