"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.

"We love to troll liberals"

Anytime they are presented with factual information they respond with petty insults or leave

Legit saw a comment that was removed from memes.ml for incivility that questioned the accuracy of a meme suggesting suicides were lower in China and North Korea compared to Taiwan and South Korea because they’re “communist”. It was very civil. The mods just didnt like being questioned I guess.

Those subs are their safe place. Anyone who disagrees is only allowed to view their propaganda. Not unlike a vegan sub really.

It was just weird to see it called incivility when it was not in any way uncivil.

FUCKING NAZIS

They're not Nazis, Walter, they're Tankies...

Are we really going to split hairs here?

Say what you will about Stalinism, at least it's an ethos?

When you criticize the dear leader *

Sheepooh is a god among men carrying the torch of socialism
