"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?
(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 — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from 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.
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.

Sweet, yet another instance to block
You’ll notice that it’s still .ml making questionable decisions.
Edit: noticed you’ve only been here for 4 months. Lemmygrad and hexbear are also worth blocking
Without checking, no shot blahaj federates with those. Still a good edit note for instances that do though.
Found myself curious enough to check.
As of this very moment, lemmygrad [dot] ml and hexbear [dot] net are showing on lemmy.blahaj.zone's blocked instances list. Lemmy [dot] ml is not.
Edit: typo and no tankie hyperlinks.
can confirm, hexbear and grad are inaccessible from here but .ml federates just fine
(imo im fine with this, they have their issues obv but so does .world, and blocking either one cuts you off from a ton of communities and users)
Agreed. I generally don't mind .ml.
But, when enough people are cut from the fascist instances' communities, then
It should be mentioned that several instances has already defederated from lemmygrad and hexbear.
block the triad, .ml, hexbear, lemmygrad. also block politics.world too, but not the instance.
libs passing up the opportunity to call it a "troika" is just sad
