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 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.

You know how in totalitarian regimes, they used to burn book and silence, disappear or imprison people who spoke certain things?
Whenever there is war, thought regulation gets really strict.
It’s not “used to” in the U.S. sadly
No money for tankie admins.
Isnt radio free a propaganda tool set up by the US or am i thinking of a different one they pump into north korea?
Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe are good for learning the U.S. State Department's approved perspective on a given issue.
The organization was founded to serve the goals of the Cold War and was indeed a CIA front. The secretive CIA support ended in the 70s I think and the org now works with the official U.S. government outlet, Voice of America.
Radio Free Asia is similar but a separate and legally distinct non-profit organization that started after the end of the Cold War to carry on the mission.
You are correct
What’s RFA?
Radio free Asia. In this case it's actually radio free Europe.
Oh well to be fair that is a US propaganda outlet.
Radio Free Asia/Radio Free Europe
Radio Free Europe/Asia are US government news sources. They are only sometimes credible.
Isn't the Israel is hostile to middle east/central asia, and trying to start a major war with iran, like .ml friendly narrative? This seems to jive with that.
RFA posting
Ring Fit Adventure posting?
Radio Free Asia, it is a US government news service.
