"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.

These people actually told me North Korea is a democratic country where the people get to vote for their leaders.
They actually said that lol
I honestly feel bad for these people at this point
The ones that say the just top tier delusional horribly false things are something else. I've seen multiple people claiming that China is more accepting of LGBTQ people than America/the West. Denying Tianamen square....
They deny every terrible thing China and other communist countries do, Invading Tibet, trying to Invade Vietnam, Invading Mongolia, taking over Hong Kong and obliterating free press there almost over night, threatening to wipe out Taiwan every day of the week to the point where they literally shoots rockets at Taiwan to scare them, and of course the current Uyghur genocide.
I honestly can't tell half the time if they're even being serious when they deny basic facts everyone knows or if they really believe CCP propaganda
China, Russia, and North Korea are almost "cartoonishly" evil these days
