"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.

So how much is that guy paid? Are there any tries to fork the app?
Paid too much. And there are already alternatives shaping up. Check out piefed. Dot world has one. The user experience it's already better than Lemmy.
Is it using the same underlying stuff, like can I use my account on lemmy.world or is it completely different?
It's a separate server with separate logins. So no at the moment there is no reporting account directly over. But you can import the data so you are subscribed to all the same communities Etc.
I mean can I be subscribed to say this community then?
I'm replying to you from piefed, so yes.
Is there a mobile app? I wouldn't mind switching, just couldn't find a proper idiot guide to do it
There's a few, I use Voyager myself on iOS. The only real difference from Lemmy so far that I see on a user side is that you cannot upload images directly into a comment, but that functionality is in the works.
If you want to give it a try, you're welcome to join my PieFed instance https://quokk.au/. If you have any issues, let me know what app and if it's ios/android and I'll see if I can make you a guide.
Several apps have support now. Voyager, boost, and infinity. Though they don't always support all the new features yet. But give a like experience to using Lemmy.
I was waiting for Boost to support it and it does now (though you need to install the beta). Other apps are listed here.
