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.

Uhhrg a user from my instance, I am disgusted
Yeah, it makes it worse somehow
For those who are interested in learning about some of the truth of Ukrainian nationalists, and how they were involved in Euromaidan and how Putin spun them up into something that was (a) Neo-Nazi and (b) definitely super important for politics in Ukraine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_Sector
They currently have 0.00% of the government in Ukraine, and they don’t even like involvement with the EU, they just hated Putin’s involvement enough to get involved with some pretty EU-aligned politics in Ukraine which then eventually won the revolution.
Why did I read it "senator Lindsey Graham (RISC-V)"? 😂
Because you just comepted in framework post?
Maybe that's it. I did see a post of framework getting RISC-V board before this one. lol
Why green tag? Green usually implies something good. I marked them with red.
Also more fitting
I especially like his other alt:

IS THIS FUCKING UNIVERSALMONK?
Edit: Clearly it is, it took him 35 minutes from my posting this message to him "innocently" replying randomly to one of my posts, using an alt I haven't blocked yet. Dude has problems. I've now blocked the new alt.
FYI @Arcanepotato@vegantheoryclub.org
Glad to learn I'm not the only one blocking UniversalMonk accounts. Its exhausting.
Yeah. Usually, the bullshit accounts I do not block, because I think it's worth talking with them and sort of shining a light that they are bullshit. At least for a little while. UM is different because he's extremely upfront about being bullshit, so there's nothing to prove by the interaction.
There's this weird kind of Stockholm-syndrome-by-proxy going on with Lemmy's moderation. The old-school system was that the operators of the network were supposed to make sure it was going to be free of overt crap, and otherwise, let people do what they wanted to do. It turns out that there are a couple of technical features that make it pretty difficult to do that on Lemmy (bad moderation tooling, easy and anonymous account creation, distributed nature of the system making it hard to take a global look at certain types of abuse). But, there are technical features that make it really easy for moderators to enforce a weird little space where you have to be "polite" to everyone at all times, no matter what, and often also where only certain types of opinions that line up with the moderator's opinions are allowed.
And so, that first thing doesn't happen as much as it should (although TBF they do filter out a large amount of crap), and that second thing happens all the time.
This reeks of protection money. At least Joey and Paulie were smart enough to wait for Vinny and his crowbar to leave the bodega before asking for a payment.
Yes Dear tankie that how geopolitics works....
Next question...
