"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.

Reddit is 50/50 Tankies & Nazis. Fediverse is like 90% Tankies & other terrorist simps, even outside of the Tankie instances. It's a complete clown show on all platforms honestly. I almost wish climate change wasn't such a slow cooking thing.
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
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.
do it
I guess if you're looking for them that hard then it's all you'll see in your feed. Where do you buy brushes that big, btw?
I don't, that's the problem. It's not really my fault that suddenly everyone roots for Hamas & Hezbollah or thinks other nonsensical bullshit.
Maybe it's only a way for them to express their disagreement with the actions if the israelian government ? As this is deemed antisemitic, it might cause overreaction...
Yeah, no. If you're simping for literal terrorists just because "Israel bad" then you've completely lost the plot. If Israel would act like those groups, the death toll, destruction, and other crimes would be in the millions. One can disagree with the Israeli government and still not end up simping for terrorists. I do, and I get shat on from both sides for it. Great times.
Those who fall for the division can't see the larger picture. Or perhaps they can, and they revel in it.
Well, it's a little more than " Israël bad". More like "Israel supposed to be good but kills tens of thousands of children, women and men, destroys any possible future for nations (incl. itself), ignores UN resolutions for years and is actively expanding colonies on extremist religious grounds and far right supremacist views". So " Hamas bad" ....
Call it whatever you want. It still doesn't make terrorists good by proxy of Israel's sins.
Sure.
Its more of a vocal 1%
