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, 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.
db0 also discourages voting in elections because "its a waste of time" lolol
Yea how is your anarchist community gonna decide things? Ask the community for agrees and disagrees with a proposal? Congrats, you just reinvented voting!
It's funny how every anarchist community ends up becoming liberal, democratic and western
I'm by no means an anarchist expert, but from my experience. Its downfall is that it can't scale, it will either implode or basically change into something else like you said.
DB0 seems like a cool instance, but the tankie roach adjacency is a massive red flag.
That and being explicitly pro-ai
Indeed. All I wanna do is maths!
Unruffled is the biggest reason I decided to block their instance. When I brought some issues up with db0 (the other admin) about it, he just ignored it and played dumb. One admin is actively a troll and the other, at best, doesn't know how to handle their shit.
I like how they are gate keeping the term tankie
... Ah shit
I love how YTB has banned me for no reason on that community
You're instance banned from dbzero because of your anti asylum seeker rhetoric. The modlog is public my guy, you can see the reason.
I'm not even anti asylum seeker. And even then, it's got nothing to do with YTB
good, db0 is a tankie bar
"Okay but this other thing is worse," say people who firmly rejected moral relativism during the election.
