"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


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

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.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Imagine thinking you're important enough to be monitored by the CIA.

Lemmygrad is hilarious, but I'm rather confused by hexbear. I genuinely cannot fathom if they're serious or trolling

They are serious but use their jokes as a smokescreen.

I used to peek at Voat every once in a while. I bet some people here have heard of it? If was one of the websites that sprung up when reddit had one of its "exoduses". Voat became crazy right wing. I mean, openly nazi, out loud racist, vile people. The loud minority. Well, I liked to poke at them every once in a while and it wasn't long before I was labeled a "Jew shill". IDK how that even happened. This reminded me of it.

They moved to gab. It's a festering shit hole of "patriots"

I was a very prominent member of voat during its early days. My account was disabled and shut down multiple times, though the Admins often reinstated my account. Likewise, I was on said.it and ruqqus, same deal, too many extremists which then shut down the site.

It happens because mainstream social media sites shoo away extremists, which is fine, but inevitably big social media sites collapse little-by-little, and so the only alternatives are extremist places. Then it's a whole loop, no one wants to engage because of the lack of diversity, and eventually, the whole site shuts down, and everyone goes back to mainstream social media. I mean look at my account and this community for instance--the exact same thing is happening again, a handful of extreme no-lives are trying to shut down opposing views.

Thankfully, though, Lemmy is federated.
