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 it 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.
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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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 banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

They never said the community was defederated. They said the users are banned. Which is true; a lot of users of this community are banned from the entire instance because Unruffled is a piece of shit, and db0 doesn't pay attention to what Unruffled actually does.
doesn't sound like you've had very good experiences
I blocked the instance before I even had moved to pawb.social because of Unruffled's actions and their pro-AI stance (they claim they oppose GENAI, yet all the generative AI slop communities are on db0). They hadn't even gone full Tanky yet.
It is really weird they need genAI to create their icons, like the icon for YPTB
I tried to make a new version of their icon, but the post was deleted.
No, because the users who were banned had bad faith and used racial slurs/advocated for the removal of people.
Am I Gatorade or antiyanks? Pick a side, goat. You're blocked after harassing me in DMs. Weird how you didn't deny the racial slur use.
You don't get to use bad faith as an argument, hatorade
