"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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.

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 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.

They continued on about something something its USA's fault, which might be true in this particular case, but mostly irrelevant in reality. they always ignore the current issue. Its literally the same thing every single time, I've started tagging every single one I see. I should write them all down lol.

I have the entire lemmy.ml and hexbear.net instances blocked. Nothing of value has been lost and my experience has dramatically improved.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

lemmygrad is the other to be banned too.

I’ve switched to piefed and the first thing I did was block the triad and start clean and fresh. I don’t want to see that pollution at all

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

thier annoying users infiltrate the other instances though.

Yes but it still blocks out the majority of them then I can individually block. If too many are from the same instance then that instance will be blocked.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Ah yeah, but I like trouble unfortunately lol. I like to keep up on their current policies so that I can pick a random one out in another instance as well.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Same. If I see a ml user who has clearly lost all touch with reality I block them as well.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Don't even need to tag em lol. The .ml in their username is enough
