"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, rather than engaging in argument.

Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.

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.

I see the hexbear bad faith has rubbed off on you. Sure mate, that’s exactly what was happening. :D

A user criticized a tankie.

A user had their comment removed.

There was no reason to remove the comment, as you yourself admitted in restoring it.

So someone was censored... for criticizing... a tankie.

It's also curious that you would say that "Hexbear bad faith" has "rubbed off" on me, considering I don't go to Hexbear or even post on an instance which is federated with them, whereas you are an ardent and vocal advocate for the federation of Hexbear with your instance and openly praise the genocide deniers on Hexbear as preferable to the 'turbolibs' on .world.

One might suspect that the bootlicking pro-genocide energy of Hexbear has 'rubbed off' on you.

Currently not taking action advice from people voting for genocide.

Yes, I'm well-aware that you think endorsing the genocide of marginalized folk is okay so long as you don't have to spend any of your precious energy on the crime known as 'voting'. Also, cute that refraining from supporting Uyghur genocide, something that would cost you nothing (except, perhaps, whatever feelings of contrarian smugness you get from supporting a genocide that 'the libs' don't like), is advice that you're explicitly choosing not to take. I guess endorsing state-sponsored genocide is just too much fun for a self-proclaimed 'anarchist', huh?

Enjoy your privileged middle-class existence. Some of us have to fucking struggle in this country to stay alive. But as long as you can jerk off with your online friends as to how pure you are, no number of minorities or LGBT folk being murdered by fascists matters.
