"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.

Based on 30 minutes of looking around the instance I didn't see anything immediately indicative of CSAM. A lot of lolis and sexualized images but no obvious sexual pornographic content of that nature. Just the standard anime trope of everyone either appearing childlike or having absurdly exaggerated sexual organs.

So I woyld think there is a very loose definition of CSAM being used.

Now, I did see a discussion thread for Samurai X, which, fine I guess, but if I saw a Lost Prophets appreciation thread in a music community it would raise an eyebrow.

Hopefully the situation can clear things up between the two instances.

Some idiots use "CSAM" to refer to drawings.

Because apparently words don't mean things.

I didn't find any. Is there nsfw loli shit?

That's meant to be against ani.social's content policy.

Anime is very obviously pedophile adjacent. I have no patience for people who pretend not to be able to see it.

Cartoons too

That's so specific of them. Like, isn't that the one anime sub that is very strict on loli content?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't know whether it qualifies as very strict, but their content policy does prohibit it:

Do not submit content depicting a child (both real and virtual) engaged or involved in explicit sexual activities. A child is defined as a person who is under 18 years old; or a person, regardless of age, who is presented, depicted or portrayed as under 18 years old.

I'm not aware of any enforcement issues, though I only follow their animemes, anime_irl, and meta communities. And of course, dessalines didn't cite anything specific, just said “No, that is full of CSAM” and locked the thread.

They should spread this news across Lemmy if the developers are blocking instances

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Being defederated from lemmy.ml should be a reason to celebrate. Who does want to gather on an instance that federates with fascist bears and grads?

On the other hand, as I commented on another post of this community and previously on other posts of other communities, this should be a good reason to fork lemmy. But...
