"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
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
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.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
Lol let me guess lemmy.ml? Surprised we haven't defederated from them yet. It's pretty much the new hexbear
Big instances straight up defederating does run the risk of causing a mass migration like with Hexbear, throwing ultra mega instances like .world into further moderation turmoil.
So that’s a choice that has to be made with care, though not a terrible one in the long term so long as the short term repercussions can be handled.
In the meantime I like reccomending folks join small instances with a defederation list and mod team they like (like mine). 🙂
I'm not Canadian, the only reason I picked lemmy.ca was because they defederated from hexbear good and early :o
That does show good judgement.
That filth goes to wherever they can troll people. The minute we ban .ml you'll see blahaj become the cesspit.
