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.

You're the truest example of a scratched liberal.
Because I take the "democratic" in "democratic socialism" seriously?
You're sitting here quite literally simping for an attempt to coup a government instead of participating in democracy, explicitly along the lines of an authoritarian government which had overthrown leftists in Russia.
Sorry for believing in democracy, I understand that your curious form of 'anarchism' apparently thinks that the Vanguard Party knows what's best for the unwashed masses, and must impose that will by force upon them.
The People's Hierarchy!
Why post disengage. Why not just do it. As an administrator, as a moderator it's clear you knew what the correct actions were. You just couldn't take your own advice. And it only gets worse from there.
I'm not here to take a side in the greater argument. I wasn't here for it, and don't have a dog in the fight necessarily. That and I suppose "oh no, drama in a drama sub". But whatever impression or perception I had of you. At this point you're tarnishing. Not that that necessarily means anything. I'm no one special. Not that the original accusation wasn't hyperbole. But you are only lending it credence the more you post now.
Because that signals one doesn't want to continue the discussion explicitly and that the other person shouldn't keep waiting for an answer that will never come. It grants the last word to the other party as well. Not quite sure what your issue is with the disengange.
Posting is definitialy engagement. It's explicitly the opposite of letting them have the last word. Especially when you continue to engage afterwards.
Maybe I'm an uncouth Ozark hillbilly who's parents grew up in houses with dirt floors. Maybe it was some masterdebater super move on your part. But my problem with it as you put it. Specifically is that even you didn't seem to respect it afterwards. 🤷♂️
Your first post way up top was "adequate". You'll never win 100% in the face of drama. Continuing to post, you're just weakening it.
lmao, saving this one
And you're the truest example of a scratched anarkiddie
