"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
Everyone who disagrees with them is a transphobe yet they had several posts agreeing with China's ban on Trans people, sterilization and murder.
Yeah I don't get that? Why are they constantly complaining about transphobia all the time? Yet I never see any.
Because it's simply a cudgel to use against other sections of the left "Oh you haven't completely purged any and all bigotry from your movement? Guess we're gonna have to act smug and call you a piece of shit. "
And then "No no no, please don't look at Marxist Leninists track record on LGBT rights" or "No way, there's no genocide in Xinjiang"
nothing makes sense or is consistent in their beliefs, it's a miracle they don't go into a spasm feom cognitive dissonance
They're basically using Fox new republican logic of screaming about how everyone who doesn't agree with them is persecuting them and is a bigot about spins wheel of things they like to call people.
tbf I do definitely see transphobia pop up around the Fediverse, it's just generally downvoted.
