"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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.

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, this includes alt accounts. 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.

Yeah. I really wish they’d get the help they need.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

How many accounts have they gone through so far?

A thousand maybe two?

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He’s up there with Universal Monk numbers for sure.

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Though I love the fact that you are obsessed with me, I have nothing to do with this dude or the post. But hey, feel free to keep talking about me.

Thanks, friend! :)

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It’s not obsession you fucking clown, it’s that when a joke is funny, it gets told a lot.

And since everyone knows all of your sock puppets, it’s multiplied.

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't have any sock puppets. But when you talk about me so much, it makes me feel famous! Which is kinda cool!

I noticed ya got banned from dbzer0. What happened? Not sure of the details, but from the looks of the modlog, it may be because you got so aggressive in a thread when people brought my name up.

None of this stuff is that serious. I'm on here just trying to do my part and adding content to Lemmy because I believe in it.

Let's have a great 2026 and slow down on all the anger and namecalling. The importance of quality posts on Lemmy is more important than any petty personal disputes.

Thanks, friend! :)

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Bullshit dude. But I’m not wasting my time in the repetitious game you seem to love to play in denying this.

You know exactly why I got banned from that shithole- because you are the one that reported me. And you know that It’s because I called your ass out for what you are- a sad little no-life troll that gets a perverse endorphin rush from disruption and the pointless antagonization of random people.

This is all because I was the one that got YOU banned from .world, but you really need to get over that and understand that It’s not just because you act like a smug asshole. It’s also because no one likes you.

But I’ll digress:

I think you have a serious mental health problem that has gone on too long without being addressed and as a result of this, I feel sorry for you. I honestly do. You must be incredibly lonely to find yourself seeking attention from complete strangers online.

It’s fucking sad man.

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Friend, I didn't report you. Why would I? I have no issues with you.

And I don't care about, nor do I miss, .world at all. I'm very happy with my homes here on sh.itjust.works and dbzer0. Heck, you even jumped ship from .world. Good for you!

I'm aware that you think I have a mental problem, but I’m happy I voted Socialist, and I’ll do it again next election. If supporting and promoting Socialist/Green causes is what you call a mental illness, then I’ll wear that label with pride. Heck, I'll even add it to my profile banner! lol

Let's have a great 2026 and make some great contributions to Lemmy.

Thanks, friend! :)

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pal, there’s not even a remote chance I believe a single word you say. You’re about as bad faith as it gets.

I took away your biggest source of entertainment, and while that clearly sucks for you, it’s a huge win for everyone else. 🤣

And that you put having a mental health issue and being a socialist in the same bucket it’s probably the funniest thing you’ll ever say in your sad little life, so….

credit where it’s due.

You can go and as and fuck all the way off for the entirely of 2026. People like you should be banned from the internet.

Okay? Byeeeeeeeee friend!

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm not gonna fuck all the way off for the entirely of 2026. I'll keep contributing to, and promoting, Lemmy, because it's such a great platform. The fact that you think I should be banned from the internet, just because you don't agree with my socialist viewpoints, isn't the win that you think it is.

Best of luck to you in the coming year.

Thanks, friend! :)

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cool! So long as you know that most everyone here thinks you’re an annoying little pest. And as for the people that buy into your bullshit? They just don’t know who you are-

yet.

So if you’re wondering why I bother engaging with you- it’s for this reason- to let them know.

K-thaaaaanks, byeeeeeeee!

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Hey, if ya wanna keep putting my name out there and bringing me attention, you're totally free to do that. I support your right to do that!

But if I'm truly the attention-seeking person that you think I am, then wouldn't that be a good thing for me? The fact that you get so upset and angry by me, doesn't really help your cause. But hey, you do you. I'm totally fine either way. Lemmy's a big place. Plenty of places to post and be jolly.

I'm looking forward to a 2026 filled with more love and less anger in the world. And I'll keep doing my part by adding content to Lemmy and supporting the platform.

Thanks, friend! :)

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)
[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yep! And I stand by what I said. And that supports my previous question to you: If I am truly the attention-seeking person that you like to think I am, then isn't you bringing me up all the time, just good for my ego?

I'll also continue to vote for, and promote, third parties in our elections. Even if it makes Lemmy mad. As is my right. I value and support your right to disagree and vote however you wish.

I don't consider myself a troll though. I just stand up for myself and my beliefs, regardless of how mad people get.

I have no issues at all about people on Lemmy being upset because I didn't vote for what I view as a corrupt Duopoly. I also stand up for and promote pro-union causes. In fact, before I retired, I was a prominent member of my local teachers union--and it was awesome! I also support Green causes. Socialist causes. Anarchist causes. All of that makes people on Lemmy mad too.

Lemmy is an online forum with anonymous people saying what they want. I don't take any of this as seriously as you do! lol

Thanks, friend! :)

See? Now that we agree, we can be allies now. Let bygones be bygones.

Wanna start over in 2026 and be cool with each other, and declare a truce? Let's try it!

Thanks, friend! :)

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You’re mistaking my part in this discussion as interest in your sad little game. Let me be clear:

I have zero interest in entertaining your dumb shit. I’m taking part in a discussion to illustrate to others that you’re a psycho with some weird obsession with making people believe you’re not a psycho.

Nothing more.

Just giving you the stage you need to spew whatever bullshit you feel makes whatever point you think You need to make- so that it can be see for what it is.

A troll with a vendetta.

I got you banned, and now you’re obsessed with payback. And if you can’t achieve that- you’re fine to just have everyone believe you’re being unfairly attacked- a victim. And from there, you get people banned. This conversion helps to prove you are full of shit.

So my job is done here. Now, begone- Troll.

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not obsessed with payback of any kind. I didn't get ya banned from dbzer0, friend. I had nothing to do with it. You seem obsessed with payback for something that I didn't even do. lol

I'm totally fine with most people on Lemmy hating me. Feel free to check my profile, because I even mention that I'm a Lemmy outlaw. I don't take any of this seriously. It's Lemmy, lighten up a bit! Step away from the anger. Go outside. Realize how awesome life is!

It's a new year, and let's call a truce. Let's be allies and keep contributing content to Lemmy. I'll keep doing my part and contributing and posting. Hope you do as well.

Thanks, friend! :)

[–] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago

Why? My life is awesome. And I hope yours is as well.

Thanks, friend! :)

Yus.

Alas, the next line of the popular song goes:

A force from above

... I need to listen to more anarchist musicians. And to get that spook psyop shit outta my brain; cease those insidious pro-authoritatian programs from hiding in there.

... And yet, I'm still fond of that song. Further testament to the danger.

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

He averages out on about five accounts per day, every day, for the past two and a half years. I think around 4,563 accounts? I'm sure the SJW admins have better numbers on how many they've banned with automod

I'd probably kill myself I was antiyanks, being that obsessed is just not healthy. Sounds like an utterly miserable existence to be that engaged on dead social media.
