"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.
Here's a funny joke.
There are 3 new instances, 1 day old; and all users of those instances have universally decided this post is worthy of a downvote. Hmmmm 🤔
Defederated from them all. @cm0002@lemmy.world they all decided this post was bad too https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45804501
I've told other admins about this. (Thanks quokk.au admin for bringing this up!)
Lol I figured, there's also a 1-2 day old account @TheDregg@lemmy.world whose sole purpose in life is to downvote LMAO https://lemvotes.org/user/TheDregg@lemmy.world
Yikes, i didn't know lemvotes can see a user's every single vote 🫠 even i can't do that with my admin powers. Sounds creepy, to say the least but :shrug: not the important thing here.
I'll tell an LW admin about this. Votes can't be removed, but they can be stopped.
edit
Well, you won’t believe this.
THREE WHOLE INSTANCES HAVE BEEN MADE, to purely mass downvote all your posts.
Congratulations, sir; that’s not something i see everyday lmao.
LMAO ig im really starting to piss off the tankies 😂
it really should be an achievement badge.

Is someone mad that their bomber fleet was rapidly disassembled?
meta: I hate how threadiverse.link works. the "just take me there" button does not work without scripts and cookies. it would be useful, but e.g. for me it's just in the way
