Welcome to MoG!

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 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, rather than engaging in argument.
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. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
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.
Excuse me while I go donate even more money to PieFed
Piefed, what you are describing is Piefed.
Make the jump, it's honestly the best move you can do, having a working block/filter system does wonders for your experience.
I need to find an android app that supports piefed. I use it on my desktop and use Lemmy on my phone, and its very awkward.
PieFed has been supported by most big apps in the last month or so. The website itself is also a pretty functional webapp, and my preferred method even moving away from Voyager on iOS for it.
If you're wanting to try it out, registration is open on my instance Quokk.au, which is a small-mid sized instance, with a general leftist/anarchist vibe.
Is Quokk still defederated from the triad similar to the OP? Might check it out.
Currently .ml is federated as it was part of the default PieFed list and by the time I got around to updating it users had already started subscribing to .ml communities so I didn't want to cut them off. I might put out a community vote in the future to see if we redefederate.
No worries, ML has been just as bad in my experience but I’ll keep an eye out for the vote though for sure.
Boost, Summit, Blorp, Interstellar and Voyager work with PieFed.
I just browse using my web browser (yes, even on android), maybe when/if Thunder supports it I'll use that but I really don't feel like it's needed.
Thunder supports Piefed since last month: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/releases/tag/0.8.0-2
That's cool, installed it again, tried to login and got a error so not there yet, I can wait.
