"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.

That's the instance level censor filter at work. Much as I like to make fun of the users there, this time it's just on the admins for enabling that feature.

Isn't it funny though that for such a pro-violence group of people they don't actually like mentioning said violence because of their sensitive feelings?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I'm not sure how an instance level setting actually says anything about the users, though. There's plenty of low hanging fruit when it comes to laughing at the tankies. This one seems a bit of a stretch (unless we're laughing at the admins. Let's laugh at the admins).

How about now?

Very well I'll rename the title

1 death is a tragedy a million is a statistic. They say 40thousand have been killed by israel, tuberculosis killed 4000 yesterday. That means all thw deaths of gaza are about equivilent to 10days or tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a curable disease we have eradicated simmillar diseases in the past for the same cost as runnibg the us military for 3hours.

I don't understand your rambling. Are you saying 40k is... not worth a lot? Or that it's a disease?

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 37 minutes ago

40k is 10days of tuberculosis deaths. Just giving people a little perspective on what problems we should really be focused on solving.

this is the resistance? rich college kids who are too afraid to say no-no words?

Well if it's .ml they just have the global bad words list, not the choice of the users.
