It's not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.
"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.
Pug has always been right on the Tankie line. I've had multiple accounts banned after interactions with them.
What did he accuse you of doing?
Edit: Wait. How did PugJesus ban your account?
I'm assuming liberal use of discord and the report buttons. Zero actual evidence of even trying to understand. Just seems highly correlated.
As for what I do? I suppose I don't feel we need an entire global system breakdown to fix some of the world's challenges (I can be roughly described as a centrist).
So you don't have proof of your accusations.
Ah, so I'm right. And now we see the people with a high school emotional maturity come out.
Edit: Yep, knew how this was gonna go.
My guy, you're not even on topic 🤣
Trying to turn this from pug is a borderline Tankie to court presentable evidence that pug doesn't get people banned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah, yes because you made an accusation without proof. Dude.
👌👍
Ah
Okay then, carry on lol
Receipts?
Pug pretty regularly pushes back against tankies, so I would love to see what you're basing that take on...
