"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.

This screams "superiority complex" with the power or an exploding star.

And yeah, your buddy Stalin/Putin never repressed freedom of speech!

I mean…every time I challenge a tankie and I didn’t realize I was in a tankie instance, I get deleted and banned.

He wants a marketplace of ideas? Not a centrally planned economy of ideas? And Hexbear isn't calling him a far-right radical?

[–] FlorianSimon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Look at the Star Trek guy. They say they don't want that

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Isn't that hexbear? If so, they defederated from sh.itjust.works because we're big meanies, or something

I can't follow that link since they defederated. I'll believe you though

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

What do you mean? It works on my side:

The hexbear defederated list also doesn't show SJW: https://hexbear.net/instances

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I was going by this https://sh.itjust.works/post/4281207

Specifically this

In addition, it appears that hexbear has reversed their decision and has removed us from their allowed list.

Anyway, I guess I was doubly wrong. Idk. I never see posts from that instance, only comments

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 30 minutes ago

I never see posts from that instance, only comments

If you see comments, they are not defederated. Defederation blocks every interaction between instances, comments included.

They did, yeah. They didn't last a day until they defederated from world and SJW. Some of the oldest posts in this community are of that time

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 13 minutes ago

Hexbear is not currently defederated from SJW, see comments below

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

I thought .world blocked federation with HB before it even happened

[–] RandomGen1@lemm.ee 0 points 16 minutes ago

World preemptively defederated from them "as a last resort"

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 13 points 2 hours ago

Severing all the bridges and hiding in an echo chamber
