"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 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.

MODERATORS
I got mixed up with Daryl Davis and David Duke, hence why I deleted my comment lol
but yeah, go off on conspiracy mode dude to reply to a deleted comment
Ah, thanks very much for clearing that up. Makes sense now why questioned, retracted, and questioned.
Whom did/do you think I'm conspiring with about what?
Or were you using that term in a manner some ways deeper into the cascade of newspeakification [where it's no longer meaning about conspiring, not just making those who scrutinise seem like theorists or peddlers of spurious falsehoods, but that there's no such thing as conspiring and the word's fully Orwellianised to mean nothing about conspiring at all, to remove the word and idea from peoples vocabularies and minds, depriving them of all capacity to catch conspirators~ as was the intention when the CIA started popularising the name-changing]?
;)
Every opportunity taken to pointedly dispel the newspeakification. ;)
I don't get it.
