Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.
Thou shalt not criticise the Russian invasion of Ukraine on .ml
Oh hey, it's Yog. He's one of my favourite tankies. He looooves russia! That includes modern Russia. Hates gay people, trans, and Muslims, despises them, and loves Putin and his hypercapitalist oligarchy.
The strangest thing is that he's not Russian at all lol. He's just obsessed with it, like... unhealthily, dating back almost a decade. Definitely one of the weirder ones.
also in the future, I recommend using lemmy's own image storage or imgchest. Imgur doesn't embed and is generally really scummy.
They're pathetic.
Just look at @davel@lemmy.ml
Dude has several profiles which all deny Russia having done anything wrong, say Uighur genocide isn't happening and yet pretends they're not pro-Russian, while actively avoiding answering any questions, mainly "are you pro-Russian".
Literally denies that Russia even has propagnda.
It's genuinely ridiculous.
Any mention of them being pro Russian shills will be removed from .ml
They don't even own their behaviour, fucking 🤡
