Most instances are still federated. Really?

"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
You sound far left to me.
Anyway I think I was seeing the warning comments and it that lead me to believe mod action was fairly aggressive. However, I would like to point out that a lot of your warnings are political on nature from what I've seen.
Anyway, I'll hold off on creating the meanwhileonmeanwhileongrad community.
Side note: You should allow tankies to come here and defend there wild takes as it is entertaining. Just don't allow anything to offensive.
I'm not on any political side. Left-Right is nonsense designed by elites to divide people into fighting one another instead of the common cause of all their problems. Plus, it doesn't even apply in my country due to our voting system. Instead of labelling me as something, how about you just ask me what my views are?
And yes, they are political, this is a political community. Feel free to make whatever community you want, I don't care. I think Tankies on Lemmygrad had a meanwhileonMOG somewhere; maybe you can go join that.
I'll consider allowing Tankies outside the thread, but from experience, they don't bother explaining themselves and usually just start trolling people.
Haven't checked your other work but all your takes here are very reasonable.
I find the trolling to be particularly funny. It can be a slippery slope though to it is definitely something to be careful with.
Haven't had complaints so far.
Why are you all of a sudden so invested anyway? Making up stuff about my moderation, assuming my political opinions, and wanting to make other versions of this community. It's a little weird, dude, what exactly do you want?
