Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Man, Israel has spent years propping up Hamas.
Because hamas was originally a charity
... when do you think Hamas was a charity?
Hamas has performed charity. But that's not the same as being a charity - their express purpose from their founding has been the destruction of the state of Israel.
It started off as a charity organisation, which is why Israel funded them. Though it's more likely Israel funded them since they opposed the PLO
That's in reference to Islamist predecessors of Hamas, not the org itself. I'm speaking of Hamas after its founding, which Israel has spent decades funding
Because Hamas is the only avenue for aid to be received in Gaza.
You can argue UNRWA, but Hamas has ties to them as well.
Back in '98, which that article discusses, Hamas was not in control of Gaza. This started long before Hamas was a serious contender to Fatah's dominion over Palestinian politics.
