"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
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 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.

MODERATORS
The mods there like to ban people from unrelated communities, too, just to appease their petty egos.
Oh yeah they will. And not just them!
Davel banned me from his little echo chambers for calling him out in a thread he came in to- all on his own, thst had nothing to do with him, and. that wasn’t even in his instance.
Pure cowardice. It’s hilarious and sad simultaneously.
You should post this to yepowertrippingbastards
Banned from there for calling out that little troll Universal Monk and all of his sock puppets.
“Bad jacketing” apparently. So even when there’s proof of a thing- you can’t call it out. I guess we’re a little afraid of hurting feelings over there.
classic dbzer0
Yup.
!modabusereports@piefed.world
yptb is on dbzer0 which bans people for hurting admin feelings
That community appears empty to me.
no one's made a report yet... hard kind of comm to get started lol
Yep. That sums him up pretty well I’d say.
Not at all, do you really not understand the concept that just because people say a thing, doesn’t mean they’re affected by said thing?
You see, Scooter- sometimes adults just share things because we think it’s funny, relevant, or in some cases, ironic. It’s called communication. And unlike what Edgelord Internet 101 has taught you- simply bringing something up doesn’t mean one has an emotional connection to it.
I really hope this helps you. You seem a bit lost.
(Postscript: if it is of any assistance to you, it’s spelled “feelings”. Yeah. Thought I’d point that out)
