"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 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.

That is an awful way to look at communities. You should probably expand your horizons a bit and start interacting with more people

I mean, I blocked all the .ml / hexbear / grad communities, all the news communities and all the other communities who refuse to moderate disinformation or calling me a troll for reporting & calling out terrorist simps, all the meme communities, all the sport communities... Not much left here I'm afraid and it makes me wanna interact less with people, not more, since apparently the world is just going insane it seems.

Yeah I agree that there's a lot of bs on lemmy. but reddit is more normie, I don't think it's a split between nazis and tankies

Yeah, disinformation is out of control here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

should post some of your chains on taking down the disinformation

Yeah, I've been thinking it might be time to put together some actual analysis of disinformation on Lemmy.
