"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?
(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 as opposed to arguing.
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.
I was just banned for a comment that was critical of kamala Harris, critical of Hamas, pro Palestinian civilians who are suffering genocide from the Israeli government
"Rule 1" and I didn't even use a slur or anything.
Quotes incoming, have to copy paste
Lemmy.ml mods are out of their damn minds
I got upset about some .ml moderation action and posted a similar post. At this point, I wouldn’t even give it a second thought; just ignore the instance completely.
If you bring a raccoon in the house, and it shits on the carpet and eats all your donuts, that’s on you, because it’s a raccoon and you involved yourself with it. I look at Lemmy.ml communities mostly the same way.
Yeah totally. I just instance blocked it to avoid stumbling in again.
Moreover I'm not missing ml I browse all and sometimes would find myself in a thread.
I more wanted to hear from non ml types if the opinion that "Hamas is a terrorist org and Palestine is a community of civilians experiencing genocide" was somehow bigoted
Some instance owners have blocked ml and there are are occasional discussions of broader action.
I haven't fully blocked it yet as there are some neutral communities that are still fun. Anything related to news or politics is on my blocklist, for sure.
Yes I lost those neutrals lol. Oh well, I just hate having a modlog implying I used a racial slur (if someone happens to be familiar with the instance rules), when I didn't.
Insert my original "shrug" emoji here. It's not a big deal and finding one log with one mods opinion isn't what I would consider a trend.
