"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.

MODERATORS
That is a personal attack. I’m for that kind of moderation.
In response to someone telling me to keep swallowing Apple marketing wholesale.
Did you even read what he wrote in response to my original comment?
You can’t tell the difference in alluding to someone being gullible and calling someone a triggered cat puke? One is a comment on your behavior (swallowing marketing) and the other is a direct insult. One might be a personal attack, the other one definitely is. Just be kind.
I've never even once bought any Apple product ever. I've been using Android since last 12 years. So yeah, when I have a legitimate complaint about the direction Android is going in and this is the response I get to it:
Then fuck that asshat and if you think his reply was justified then fuck you too.
Save the hostility for the tankies. Or at least take it somewhere other than here. We're here to hate red fash.
