"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
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.
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.

I mean, we don't need to spread toxicity on the fediverse by making fun of folks. I thought we left that behind. If hexbear users become a problem, they can be blocked. Otherwise let folks be whatever they want. We don't need to recreate the same shitty subs from reddit that just exist to make fun of people.
On the contrary, mocking tankies and fascists wherever they are found is good and necessary.
Why did you say fascist twice?
I won't normally try to correct people on it, but fascists and tankies aren't quite the same. The latter are vile authoritarians, but fascism is a more specific thing, even if it's still kind of fuzzy and hard to nail down.
Though if you just meant it as a joke, carry on. o7
You're starting to sound exactly like them. That's virtually the same type of emphatic shit they'd say to justify their dunk tank bullshit.
As I alluded to in another comment, I'm not necessarily against the dunking itself, I'm against the death cult ideology that they bring with them. If you find that kind of mockery annoying, then this probably isn't a community you want to involve yourself in.
That's literally a sub that hexbear has. Dunking on libs. That's one of the core tenets of hexbear. (I'm not pro or anti hexbear, but they espouse the literal thing you're defending them for.)
I'm not defending them? I'm just saying we don't need to create a community to make fun of others. I just think if that's all that instance is, block it or ask the instance defederate it.
That's in progress. The reason for the recent flurry of activity on this community is that hexbear recently federated with sh.itjust.works, and the users of both instances seem to now be pretty unhappy with that decision.
We must make it clear to others before their minds are infected by communist “ideas”. It’s good to shatter the delusion before they are more emboldened
The issue with hexbear isn't communism...
