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.
Same thread?
yup 😂
should post that!
what a bunch of assholes
They know exactly what they're doing. I wouldn't be surprised if a significant portion of the Mod/Admins were on kremlin payroll
Nah, no one on lemmy is being paid by any government.
Tankies when a capitalist imperialist state that was once red does capitalist imperialist things: "Whatabout"
They're still responding to me on there. i've taken to replying via DM
" Hi, you're getting this message because you replied to one of my messages on [email protected].
Your nanny mods community banned me. Enjoy your bubble of delusion "
Edit: Apparently i'm banned from lemmygrad.ml as a whole too now (what a tragic shame). Someone claiming to be an admin over there conveyed the above message. minus the "bubble of delusion" bit of course. wouldn't want the proles knowing about that now would they?
It's a ban i can wear with as much pride as my /r/the_donald community ban i had on reddit
Lemmy federation has been my first exposure to tankies and holy shit. They are so horny for Russian violence, Russian invasions, Russian imperialism. And somehow none of it is ever Russia's choice, Russia has no accountability or autonomy, it always the fault of "the West".
It's like a weird nationalistic narcissism.
A bit off topic: it would be nice to know if I'm banned without needing the network analyzer.
Thankfully, I blocked the entire grad instance before seeing any more cancer
