Least insane .ml bans. Remember, being anti-Israel and anti-Zionist isn't enough - you MUST be pro-Hamas!

Welcome to MoG!

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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

The common heritage thing is kind of a bad take tbh. It's like asking why the Irish have a beef with the English in 1920, why can't all Britons just get along.
Not a ban worthy take. More like sitting someone down and explaining that some weird notion of racial solidarity from literally 2000 years ago probably isn't going to defuse the situation.
I mean, I'd have to drill into what they mean more to be sure, but I took it as just that - the Irish had beef with the English in 1920 not because of some fundamental difference of being between the peoples, but because the English had shitty rulers with no interest in the well-being of the Irish or the English.
Although, gruesomely and related to the original comment's mention of relatives, there are more neighbors and intermarriage even between the notoriously sectarian and segregated Catholics and Protestants in 1920s Ireland than in modern Israel, considering Israel's ban on interfaith marriage and the whole apartheid occupation deal going on.
