"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 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.

Pandora's box is opened, wrt AI. I don't know what to do about it and it doesn't improve our lives - but we also can't un-fuck what it's brought. It's made disinformation much cheaper and faster to spread, for both state actors and non-state actors. And the fact that you can run a LLM on an ordinary (if high-end) consumer computer means it's not going away completely. We're stuck with this.
That’s like saying you are stuck wearing one pair of underwear. 😂
You have the choice not to wear it. You can choose to change your clothes.
You can choose not to run software that was trained on stolen data and hallucinates misinformation. Easy.
Literally the only place I see any Ai slop is here. The only place I hear it’s inevitable is here. And that’s only what gets past all my filters.
The bubble is going to pop and the same people pushing this agenda like NFTs are going to go crawling back into their corporate sweaty shitholes where they can come up with the next big vice capitalist scam.
Any Ai simps like tech bros pushing NFTs and crypto gets blocked.
Yeah, that doesn't stop other people from using it, spreading it, and mistaking it. Politicians are openly sharing AI videos and claiming them as true. AI content is often spread untagged precisely because it is intended to pass as 'genuine' engagement. Fuck, I myself mistook an AI pic for an aesthetic photo just the other day because I wasn't looking closely.
Misinformation doesn't go away just because you, personally, refuse to generate it and try to keep an eye out for it.
Yes and like all the other slop out there before it, it’s always going to be a personal decision to filter what you consume.
The abundance of Ai slop is only going to degrade the lowest of efforts. Real humans art is always going to stand out from the slop.
Like religion, it’s only as real as the individual consuming the propaganda.
Just another garbage human trait to add to the don’t engage with list. Like being religious or a republican.
Oh and also maybe elect smarter leaders without corporate totalitarian agendas. Just saying…
