"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.

Wait, are you talking about https://lemmygrad.ml/ ? These people are serious right? I take that the people of MeanwhileonGrad community are not marxists but somewhat anti-marxists?

The people featured in this image are from Hexbear, but they are closely related to lemmygrad. Both Hexbear and Lemmygrad are fully serious

The community here is quite diverse, some users are marxists, some are liberals, neoliberals, environmentalists, etc~

but you all oppose glorifying dictatorships.

I will drink to that :')

They're saying that the people on this community hate dictatorships.

tankies love dictatorships as long as they show some sign of communist value. like north korea or china

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure Maddison is talking about the community members here opposing dictators, not tankies.

We still can’t block instances, can we?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Not yet, no. I have doubts the lemmy devs want to implement that.
