"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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
Well the reason for the boycott is partially due to the nonsensical bans
Genuine question:
Why is this getting downvoted?
Because Antiyanks is a troll who makes hundreds of accounts a week. I appreciate him boosting this community number's dramatically, but everyone finds him annoying
Gotcha. It’s my first day on here (Reddit ban refugee) and I see it’s a COMPLETELY different atmosphere here.
It really depends on what you set your feed to be like and what instance you comment in
I'm quite entertained by their daily tantrums. They think they're accomplishing some sort of "revenge" and "war" against Lemmy and the West in general, which just amounts to getting banned constantly and making comments nobody will read because they're removed by moderator with a couple of clicks. They've told me they're "trying to make Westerners feel the pain they've inflicted on everyone else"... through swearing at people and telling them to die. They have no clue how sad and delusional they've become.
Ah well, that's mental illness for ya
