Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(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.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban. 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.
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.

Someone got their comment mocking this person deleted.
They said, “do you even know what words mean?”
.ml mod/admin in their ban reply: “reason: Yes, I studied the history of holocaust apologetics”
My eyes may get stuck, they’re rolling so hard. What would they say if I correctly characterized the third reich as authoritarian? Does that somehow make me a Holocaust denier? The logical inconsistency is making my brain hurt, somebody help please
you’re doing incredible work over there, really shining a light on the silliness of it all 😅 keep it up
It is indistinguishable from satire. The screenshot comment could be satire and the mod unable to distinguish it.
Kind of like when you call Hitler a form of socialist and get banned for "complimenting hitler"
There’s about the same amount of socialism in national socialism as there is democratic republicanism directly north of the Republic of Korea.
Beware those who claim to have your best interest at heart
