"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.

I think i got banned from ml a few weeks ago. I cant comment under any post on ml. Kinda annoying because there are some communities on there that i use but i cant do anything with ml having shit moderation. Probably said something that i didnt even think was contreversial or something an hot banned for that.

More than likely lol, but don't worry, from what I've seen there are only like a handful of very niche specific comms that aren't replicated elsewhere. They might be small, but they just need some content to grow lol

A ban from .ml isn't the worst. There's nothing but tankies and disinformation there.

And they can't meme worth shit.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

A lot of their memes are real stretches unless you're already down their uniquely hypocritical rabbit hole.

Do bother to do basic research for these posts? They got a one day community ban for a !worldnews@lemmy.ml comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/18854106

Should up nazi scum

There’s enough to rag on without making shit up.

Today the modlog betrayed me LMAO

Oh man, I blocked return2ozma a long time ago and my Lemmy experience has been better for it

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I block most of the power posters and mods. Definitely makes it more pleasing.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm curious to what it is about the ones you don't block that is different from the rest? cm0002 seems to be on your allowlist.

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 days ago

I did recently wipe out my block list and start over because a bunch of users didn't exist anymore and were just taking up space.

But if anyone isn't there, its only because I haven't noticed them posting dumb shit to my feed, not because they're special.

Getting .ml and .world bans is a right of a passage for any shit poster worth his salt.

@bingbingbongbong you are doing everything right
