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 unrelated arguments.
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, this includes alt accounts. 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.
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead.

I thought the purpose of this comm was to shit on tankies like bullies in high school, not to elevate their opinions.
Based take, keep it up
Woah woah bobby, I didn’t know I was under interrogation. I’ll reply to yours if you reply to mine first. Are you a zionist goat?
Define zionism
Do I think Israel has a right to exist? Yeah
Do I think it has the right to enact imperialism? No
I don’t think genocide denialism is based. Shh tho… we should watch out what we say, the mod of this comm is very “strict” and could ban us for “”OfF ThE tOpic diScuSSion””. Don’t worry, I’m sure you didn’t do it on purpose to get me banned.
Anyway according to the wikipedia definition:
Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement that emerged in late 19th-century Europe to establish and support a Jewish homeland through the colonization of Palestine.
So you support colonial ethno-nationalism, that sounds bad… maybe you are watching too much BBC? :)

Watch out, he'll ban you and claim he's different than Tankies. Banning you because you hurt his feelings is genocide denialism!
And he has bots that tell him every time someone comments or even edits posts here. And even Hexbear's dogmatic admins don't do that shit.
edit: "i don't ban people for disagreeing, except all of db0"
None of that is true at all. I don't ban others for disagreeing unless it's explicitly genocide denialism, such as denying China's human rights violations (Uyghurs) or the soviet union's (Holodomor), and I give them ample opportunity to reword their statement before they possibly get banned.
I also don't use bots. I'm subscribed to the community, so I get notifications for new comments and posts. Hexbear, Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad also use bots to automatically ban others. Though so does SJW and Lemmy.world, there are some users who just keep using alt accounts.
