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, rather than engaging in argument.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
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.

Nice try walking it back. Lets hope everyone forgot this discussion is about you calling out someone because they voted a certain way.
Not someone, an admin. I can see all votes (you can too using different forks), and this is the only time I've publicly called attention to it because db0 is an admin, instance owner and moderator of !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com. Which, mind you, is a community that is dedicated to interrogating people -- Honestly couldn't resist the chance to test that hypocrisy.
It's alarming for them to be supportive of tankie talking points.
Calling out anyone at all except for botting sends a message to everyone here that you are watching them for wrongthink.
Calling all human rights organisations tankies because they do not call it genocide does not really work. You just agreed with this point down below.

When did I call human rights organisations tankies?

No they just have to agree with Goat to be non-biased ✨
