"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.

They did, yeah. They didn't last a day until they defederated from world and SJW. Some of the oldest posts in this community are of that time

Hexbear is not currently defederated from SJW, see comments below

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They are defederated

Lemmy's notoriously awful for bugging out on displaying content. Search up anything and eventually you'll see it bug out where it simply won't display the results.

Ah, interesting. I just doubled checked, and indeed https://sh.itjust.works/c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net it outdated.

Still curious as https://hexbear.net/instances doesn't show anything

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because Lemmy is filled with bugs and the devs would rather spend time being tankies as opposed to developing a website they hate

On the other hand, it's not like we have a lot of alternatives. I don't like them as instance admins, but I appreciate their work as devs.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

that's true. There's still tons of forums out there and some other reddit alts

I thought .world blocked federation with HB before it even happened

World preemptively defederated from them "as a last resort"
