"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

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 think the idea that's your content will be rehosted by other servers and you give implicit permissions to do so should he part of your tos
Maybe, I guess it all depends on whether they agree on how transferable said license is, and whether courts or even just DMCA enforcers at a host or registar will agree with that (DMCA safe-harbor provisions encourage providers to act preemptively rather than duke it out in court else they risk losing protection against liability).
Obviously one's own server's TOS guarantees they have the license to host their users' content, but it might not be as clear for other federated servers, since they have their own TOS that protects them in that event, but if the user didn't sign up there, they aren't agreeing to them, and they could even reject it and still have their content federated there whether they like it or not. Seems like it could potentially be a dicey grey area if they chose to pursue federation as copyright infringement. Especially if they copyrighted their comments and posts officially.
