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.

“Counterrevolutionary” is a word devised in order to avoid saying “rules for thee by not for me”.
"Reactionary is just a made-up word to justify lumping in non-MLs with fascists"
what kind of a world are we living in where people can just make up words to describe whatever concept they want
Could it be that people are opposed to secret police regardless of the colors on their flag? No, it must be a western psy-op.
Lol, the first time I've ever been screencapped. A guy can't repost a factoid he read once and accepted non-critically without getting implicitly called a tankie around here.

Wait — this is amazing. You caught them saying something dumb, but redacted their name. But then they came to your post to out themselves entirely and complain to you, except their explanation is that they're not a tankie as such, only a complete fool.
I need a minute.
