"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. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (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 โ 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 โ 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.
I don't get it why is 6chan in the title.
It's an affectionate nickname for Hexbear. You might know that they behave like a bunch of 4channers, throwing and smearing their poop around; and Hexagon=>6 sides (must spell it out clearly, else the smart kids won't understand)... both combined make 6chan.
can anyone explain why I keep seeing their garbage after attempting to block everything hexbear related? I don't even mind the occasional tankie that much, but this lot is fucking bonkers.
Change your instance, i'm on lemmy.world which has defederated hexbear and I see no tankie posts.
had issues with lemmy.world for a while and went to lemmy.ee, will give that a try I suppose.
I just can't fathom why I can't eliminate .hex from my feed lol
As a stopgap measure you can use the Connect app, which has instance blocking.
Lemmy and federation is very buggy. I'm from an instance which hexbear defederated from, but I sometimes still see posts from hexbear when browsing all+new. It seems like it doesn't always get around to checking defederation when fetching new threads.
4chan isn't tankies and 4chan isn't just /pol/ there are plenty of boards on there that have no equivalent anywhere including reddit or lemmy like /lit/. I bet people on hexbear haven't even read a book in the last decade.
I never said anything about political inclinations, it's the trollish and toxic behaviors that are comparable. You even quote me saying "behave". Don't be *a Hexbear please...
*Thanks for pointing out the typo, dear 6channers, much appreciated :)
You say that and then you write that comment, kinda hypocritical no? Was I rude to you?
No. Feigning to not understand, or distorting a point is something that Hexbear users love to do. That's why I asked you to not be like them.
At this point you are being intellectually dishonest and I don't see how you can moralize with that kind of meta with responding to people. Goodbye.
You should sweep your own porch first before telling me to sweep mine.
Bye.
True, the majority of 4chan users definitely seem to lean right, at the very least in a trolling manner, so the comparison isn't very apt. I honestly just thought 6chan was another chan at first. I know 8chan was a thing.
Hexbear can be annoying, but the a lot of them are reasonable, it's just that the obnoxious ones always seem to be the loudest.
Isn't that like saying not all cops are bad, the bad cops are just the ones you always hear about. (In the US)
For sure, pretty much every individual cop I've interacted with has been very reasonable. Doesn't mean the policing system isn't rotten to the core when it's protecting the bad cops.
/lit/ is mostly clean I had made thread there that were 150 comments deep and no insults or slurs. You can also use 4chanx to filter comments too. Lot of stuff on /g/ is good too especially when it gets technical.
/an/ is cool, it's just a bunch of stoners comparing snails and arguing about dinorsaurs.
