"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. β Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech β You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia β (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 β 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 β 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.

Lol I figured, there's also a 1-2 day old account @[email protected] whose sole purpose in life is to downvote LMAO https://lemvotes.org/user/[email protected]
Yikes, i didn't know lemvotes can see a user's every single vote π« even i can't do that with my admin powers. Sounds creepy, to say the least but :shrug: not the important thing here.
I'll tell an LW admin about this. Votes can't be removed, but they can be stopped.
edit
Well, you wonβt believe this.
THREE WHOLE INSTANCES HAVE BEEN MADE, to purely mass downvote all your posts.
Congratulations, sir; thatβs not something i see everyday lmao.
LMAO ig im really starting to piss off the tankies π
This one lemming managed to piss off both tankies and the far-right. Well done. π
it really should be an achievement badge.
Perhaps something with this logo:

β¦ any monarchists around we could piss off also?
I originally had seven bots downvoting me constantly. Thankfully, the good admins of this instance have blocked them, but yeah, bots and organised brigades are quite common, as well as doxx attempts.
I've had a few tankies trying to dox me in their private circles, going in quite a lot of detail about how to do so, but they came up with the wrong identity both times.
We had a thread recently that was downvoted over 25 times by the same user creating multiple alts. Fortunately they were detected and all their accounts were banned and they have since left Lemmy -- Turns out they have been using these bots for almost two years to make all their comments viral.
So pathetic looool
it really should be an achievement badge.
Now, I am not saying this is wrong or anything but earlier today I saw a post for Lemvotes, checked it out and it was showing that I have down voted every single post and comment I've ever viewed. I rarely vote in either direction, so I don't think it's currently working right.
Same. It also appears to list downvotes first, so any long list that gets truncated might look like a downvote machine.
Ctrl-End and it'll take you to the bottom where your upvotes are. No clue why it sorts that way.
I'm Lemvotes's dev, would you prefer to have it sort purely by the time of publication?
That would seem more like people would expect.
I'll add a toggle for it.
