"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?
(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.

Blatant PTB.
I honestly don’t know why more instances haven’t just defederated from that shithole. Everyone left Hexbear and Lemmygrad for the exact same shit .ml is pulling. And if the reason is that they’re too big to defederate from, then I think you need to reexamine what lemmy means to you to begin with. Because that kind of flies in the face of the purpose of a fediverse- at least as I understand it.
Admins, get on with it. The only people that want to remain federated with that den of gremlins are the people that have alt characters there.
Its a few different reasons I've seen.
.world admins have stated they are now hesitant to defederate from instances now that user-side instance blocking was rolled out (Even though it's nothing but a "mute", it does not function properly and likely done so on purpose)
Indeed, another reason cited is "they have some of the biggest comms!" Which is technically true by SUBSCRIBER count, which means that 40k subscriber count on .ml memes or whatever is almost assuredly all DEAD accounts.
By the much better metric of MAUs, .ml memes doesn't even crack the top 10, whereas !memes@lemmy.world is in the top 5 despite having not even half the subscriber count

So that's why I post so much here, hopefully with overwhelming documentation it'll be easier to convince admins, especially .world, to defederate once and for all
I’d love it if those troll were absent entirely from my feed. And it’s not because they say shit that I disagree with, I’d be fine to disagree with anyone, and have no problem with people that will disagree with me-
It’s the blatant hypocrisy they display when they whine and cry about bias and censorship while having that .ml after their username. It’s obnoxious. At this point, it’s impossible to accept that it’s not purposeful.
And whine like conservatives do
They have to do like many sites do when external linking: Have a BIG header forewarning all this bs, logged, & archived.
Twitter used to do the same w/community notes. There's no reason why our community can't be headered with the catalog of evidence we made here.

I can't host my instance at this time, but I plan to host it soon!
