Most instances are still federated. Really?

"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.

Claudia de la Cruz literally running in the socialism and liberation party.
Oh hey, another third party candidate coming out of the woodwork to run for president despite no experience in political office. I'm all for socialist candidates, but they should set their sights a little lower and start with County Commissioner or something to build experience.
0% chance that a truly progressive candidate will win the general election without 1. significant experience themselves and 2. significant progressive representation in Congress and state offices. If the "both sides" parties can't navigate the gridlock when they're supposedly on the same team, how on Earth is an outsider going to get anything remotely effective accomplished without massive support from the legislative branch?
Vote progressive down ticket and in local elections. When we have a healthy progressive bloc in Congress, then we can seriously consider a progressive presidential candidate. And for the love of God, they need actual experience first(Senator, Governor, Attorney General, something).
To be clear I'm not advocating for Cruz I just think it's hilarious that people who claim to lean left are hyping up the green and not the labeled socialists.
To be honest I support my DSA locally because they actually take up council seats and attempt pushes into legislature and help with union actions.
What's this? A rational socialist voter that uses the features of the political system to gradually effect lasting change by engaging in local politics? Is that allowed?
I actually didn't realize that. Thanks!
