"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.

Authorities further suppressed the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. Women and girls, LGBTI people, and ethnic and religious minorities experienced systemic discrimination and violence. Authorities intensified their crackdown on women who defied compulsory veiling laws, the Baha’i community, and Afghan refugees and migrants. Thousands were arbitrarily detained, interrogated, harassed and/or unjustly prosecuted for exercising their human rights. Trials remained systematically unfair. Enforced disappearances and torture and other ill-treatment were widespread and systematic. Cruel and inhuman punishments, including flogging and amputation, were implemented. The death penalty was used arbitrarily, disproportionately affecting ethnic minorities and migrants. Systemic impunity prevailed for past and ongoing crimes against humanity relating to prison massacres in 1988 and other crimes under international law.

Dessalines is one the most pathetic disinformation machines in the history of social media. Total bitch ass cuck. I too wear the badge of being personally banned by it.

But yeah, don't use .ml or anything else associated with tankies. That should be a part of every instances sign up PSA. Tankies are the worst thing to happen to "the left" in the history of politics and I'm unconvinced 99% of their presence is not an oligarch PsyOp. It's not a coincidence they serve as a mouthpiece for Putin and Russias allies over all else. It's like arguing with the mental illness of MAGA. There is no morality or ethics because their logic is corrupted to its core.

"We can achieve freedom for the working class by the absolute enslavement and oppression of the working class" — tankism

What a fucking disgusting tankie existence must be to end up as such a butch ass cuck as you put it.

Anything at all worthwhile on .ml or should we push to defederate more instances from them?

After having crossposted everything of worth from there for months now, I can say traffic has gone down considerably.

Whatever that's left, can be easily substituted by other up and coming comms like !linux@programming.dev or !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

So, yes, we should be doing more calls for defederation IMO
