"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


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.

Who could have guessed, at the first sign of opposition the gays were killed off (figuratively in this case).

the tankies are fighting (again... ~x4~), oh my goosssh

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Federating with Hexbear is one of the things I dislike about .ee, but you can't have everything. At least I can block them so I can't see their posts, but their comments are still visible.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hey, if you're unhappy about it you can raise a meta-post showcasing the extremism that comes out from hexbear. There's a whole range of examples in this community.

Personally I draw the line at celebrating dictators and their genocides

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Long story short lemm.ee doesn't police what users from other instances do on other instances: As long as hexbears behave themselves in lemm.ee communities nothing will happen.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

musn't be much pushback if Hexbear hasn't blocked lemm.ee

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hadn't even considered the reverse. The "no bigotry" rule gets enforced for lemm.ee users, also when posting on other instances, which is what everyone on hexbear would agree with would be a defederation-worthy offence. As far as politics are concerned hexbear is quite diverse, from tankies to anarchists, disagreeing about a great many of things. Personally I don't get how the anarchists there can mentally endure sharing an instance with a counter-revolutionary cesspit like !sino@hexbear.net but then, hey, it's not like I'm about to tell them what to do.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I can only hope.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

That's exactly why I moved from .world to mander.xyz.

Not only is it stem focused, I get to block the cretins on my own and choose. Choices are undervalued these days.

More hate and lies from Lemmy.ml

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

didnt know marcie is a tankie

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

Because she recommends Hexbear as opposed to actual safespace instances

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh and her banner has a communist symbol

Off topic, are there any instances with decent mods that don't ban content they don't like?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah this instance

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Can recommend mine as well

[–] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is why before creating an account I carefully selected an instance that does not censor free speech.

Holy shit whole instance mobilized for a witch hunt.

Yeah they do that pretty often. they never manage to get anything done from it, and they get bored real quick.
