Banned for being: Too White, opposing Russian imperialism, using the word 'authoritarian', not praising the CCP, saying war criminals should be punished regardless of nation.
Capital offenses in tankieville, it would seem.

"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.

It took me about a month to ban ml and hexbear.
I was able, as an anarchist, to joke along with their memes, up to the point I mentioned Taiwanese elections.
Whooo boy, big mistake.
Like yes, capitalism bad, but China also bad? List a bunch of reasons why. Nope, those are all insane propoganda, despite me personally knowing people who've fairly recently fled Hong Kong, and its not because theyre fucking Kulaks or something, they are working class.
Much like QAnoners, they live in an alternate reality bubble, which can be fairly easily shown to them and then they just pull a bunch of absolute bullshit out of their asses, dubious claims with no sources which often strain basic logic given an even cursory knowledge of world or regional history.
