"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 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.

So stay off that instance. I don't care too much what their personal beliefs are until they try to impose them on others

Both of these instances have already defederated themselves. You're on a community that is dedicated to highlighting hate-speech and tankie behaviour.

and yes, they have tried to impose them on other instances. Even the Developers themselves tried to force their beliefs until the developers of Kbin told them off.

Well your boring post shows up in all feeds so anyone can criticise it, regardless of where u post it.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yes that is how federation works. You can block the community by clicking on the big red "Block Community"

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh so you just dont like being criticised and would rather just have people be blind to your output.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what? I just said if you dislike the content of a community, you can block it, lol

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thats exactly the same thing. Just take the L and move on. No need to be salty about people not sharing your opinion.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

im so fucking confused. If you don't wanna see the content of this community, you are free to block it from your feed so it doesn't show up.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nono, im telling you i want to see it so i can tell you that its boring. Blocking stuff that sucks doesnt actually make that stuff go away, its just an easy way to make the world seem more pretty than it is. Also making a shitpost about other peoples rants wont make those go away either.

I have said for so long that there must be motherfuckers like you out there, it's the only way to explain the crybabies who won't just settle for ignoring things. Finally someone who admits it!

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes, ignoring problems is why we have functioning healthcare (in parts of the world) and medicine and education and much reduced racism and voting rights. Surely all human advancements were achieved by ignoring things.

thanks for comparing this community to functional healthcare and breakthroughs in medicine! (:

Seriously though, what do you want this community to do exactly?
