"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.

Wonder if they'll find a way to elevate Epstein to such holy heights next.

The tankies seem to LOVE individuals who cause pain and terror and Epstein fits the bill perfectly🤷

Time for some new theory. Can't wait

They already love Beria, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch.

You'd think tankies would be vehemently against AI, but you'd also expect them to be against Islamic Terrorists.

Oh well, chickens gonna cluck 🔪 🐔

I'm surprised you manage to stay in the positive votes, considering the terrorist simping on here.

I don't care about reddit. I like the irony of them downvoting though, like guys, that's reddit, you're redditing right now lol

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, not to be a nerd or nothin’, but…what are the voting buttons for if not voting for stuff?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dopamine? Dunno! Don't really care that much about em

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait—but you said downvoting is a Reddit thing! I just mean I don’t get what you meant by that

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tankies often call the fediverse and lemmy reddit as a means of an insult when they themselves are redditors. It's a fun bit of irony.

Where do you think we are right now
