"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.
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.
cheers. so lemmy.cafe and lubvit.org
And dubvee.org if you're from the glorious wild and wonderful state of West Virginia, America's very second best Virginia (thus making it probably in the top 5 of all states in terms of my weird nationalistic appreciation of them)
It goes
- The great and glorious Best Virginia
- The Tar Heel State
- Kentucky and its glorious bluegrass
- The wild and wonderful Second Best Virginia
- Ohio
(No but for real though nationalism is dumb)

Thanks. Does this prevent me from seeing users from that community too?
No, I think it just blocks all lemmy.ml communities. Not posts/comments made by ml users on communities from other instances.
In my experience, it did greatly cut down on the tankie posts and comments I was reading because ml users' political takes are mostly contained within their own instance. I only come across tankie takes once every few days now. And I'm on lemmy a lot.
Honestly, unsubbing from lemmy.ml communities helped a ton. I don't browse all, so it's really effective.
