"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.

Apparently I have a “posse” here?

LOL! This dude is so triggered he had to actually congratulate a fellow tankie on getting the last word on me- after I was banned from their little meme sweatshop and couldn’t respond. I had no clue they were even still taking about that shit…. 😂

There’s no way a team of comedy writers could have made up something this funny….

Including back in the 80’s when they used to all be on coke.

🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

This was on lemmy.world, and looking at that thread you seem to have pissed off a lot of people, most of which aren't from the tankie triad. I can't see what you posted anymore but together with you using "sad and fragile leftist" as a label, you kinda look like the dick here... happy to be convinced otherwise

I’m not overly concerned with convincing you otherwise, if you know the person- you’d know why, but I don’t care enough to backstory the entire thing.

As far as the instance, that’s irrelevant, but yeah- post any comment that contains both nuance and a disagreement to the echo chamber and you’re going to ruffle feathers.

And that’s what happened.

Do you remember what your comment was initially? I sad I can't see anymore and want in on the drama 😭

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago

I actually don’t. But whatever it was. As I know me- it was something that would have injected some grey-area nuance to the topic. And I generally don’t go to places just to stir up drama, but to simply offer an alternate take.

It probably was sarcastic, but not overly antagonistic.

But the moment you say something that rubs against the grain there, they attack you like you’re a cancer to their system.

They all were battling their own rules. Yet I was culled.

It’s how it is with them, and I’m glad to have served as an example of it.
