"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?
(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.

MODERATORS
Quite a childish, troll response, just to reinforce how I’m right that you are only in here to waste everyone’s time with bullshit and I’ll keep letting everyone know it.
You came here to lie and talk shit, but I'm the troll?
That’s why you’re on lemmy in the first place. Your bullshit will work better back over on Reddit with the rest of the dumbass wet blankets.
I am not on lemmy, at all. I am on PieFed because the PieFed devs are NOT pro-war, pro-genocide, pro-Russia, and Transphobic like the Lemmy Devs are.
So you’re admitting you have a vendetta and were commenting on that post in bad faith, as I have been saying. You were never interested in an answer in the first place, you just were looking for a fight.
I asked knowing you couldn't answer, and I was proven right.
You’re still just defining “bad faith argument”
If you had an answer then the question would have helped you make your point and spread your beliefs. Because you could not answer, it hurt your stance. That's not bad faith, that's just your skill issue.
If someone is there obviously to antagonize people, then there really isn’t a point in any engagement with them other than mirroring their bullshit for entertainment. You can keep saying how dumb I am that I don’t have an answer to the question but I also don’t know who you are and don’t give a single fuck if you think I’m dumb or not. I’ll waste your time like you’re trying to waste others with bullshit bait questions.
People don't have to agree with you in order to have a fair and honourable debate.
Again, no point when the person is doing it in bad faith, as you have already admitted.
