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.
so .ml and .world?
No, .ml, Hexdouche, and Lemmynad. A few others, but they’re irrelevant enough to not warrant being mentioned by name.
Wait what's wrong with world? .ml and .hexbear are insufferable but in my experience world has been fine?
World hasthemost users so people don't like it. That's all I've really got out of anyone.
World is basically Reddit at this point, it's where most of the big Reddit subs set up a Lemmy community, and is more or less the default option for someone setting up a Lemmy account for the first time.
Oh so just hipster bullshit then, gotcha.
Standard Reddit response.
You're attitude, and responses, would be right at home on reddit.
*your
everything you do says redditor
So edgy. Hate on Reddit is SO in right now!
did you follow the comments? cause I am calling out this person's "typical redditor" behavior because of their elitism towards people moving over from there.
You’re both being incredibly cringy.
And so you decided to get in on the cringe yourself. Nice.
Nope. I just decided to point it out.
So pointing out the faults of others behavior is only cringe when other do it, got it.
No, using “Redditor” as an insult is top-tier edgelord cringe. That’s all.
You still seem to misunderstand. I am not calling this person a redditor because I feel they are beneath me or something, I am calling them that because they talked shit, and used redditor as a pejorative, all while displaying the worst cliche behavior of the site.
And you essentially did the same.
