"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 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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.

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
 

I'm subscribed to an RSS feed of all new posts on Lemmy. Some time back, I created a post filter for it targeting everything coming from lemmy.ml accounts with the words "China", "Russia" or "Ukraine" in the title. 377 posts have been filtered so far, from 65,670 of all posts captured since 20 March 2026 (as I write this). Note that this feed is not fetching messages 24/7, because I use an actual RSS reader installed on my computer instead of a third-party web service stealing all of my data, so it doesn't update when my computer is off. The instance I'm using, slrpnk.net, also blocks some other active instances, namely lemmygrad, hexbear and lemmy.org. Not that I miss them; just explaining why this isn't a true total of all posts across all instances.

Out of these posts:

Here's full dump of filtered posts in HTML format.

Nothing of substance to add but it's valuable to have people looking out and alerting the rest of us. Preciate you

Iirc Yogthos is a Russian national living in Canada btw, take that with a grain of salt though because I could be mistaking him for Davel (it's one of those two for sure.)

No matter which it is, wonder why they don't go back and help fight their beloved war in Ukraine..

I just blocked ML. I don't want to deal with that shit in my feed.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Same here. I'm enthusiastic for communism so I hoped to find meaningful insight on ml.

But what a clown show it is. I wonder if the yogurt guy gets payed for his efforts, otherwise it's incredible stanning.

Fwiw Jank Jackeroni and Smackyroon are almost definitely the same person on alts, idk why, maybe they switch after a critical mass of people block them.

[–] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

I expected jackeroni and jankforlife to have made more

So roughly 41%, 18%, 17%, and 11% for a total of 88%, for anyone wanting percentages without doing maths

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 7 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I just do not talk about China, Russia, Ukraine or Israel here at all anymore because I don't want to read the replies and frankly I'm sick to death of hearing about them.

Already had two of them tagged as shills. The last one seems to have been mod bombed. Thanks for the other though.

[–] Rose@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Tapped on Smackyroon and immediately it's posts about Russia "liberating" a place.

Oh, do star trek posts next!
