"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.

Most tankies are not reasonable, no. A few of them have legitimately put forth effort in engaging in this community, but when faced with the reality of Stalin specifically sending queers to gulags, they broke and reverted to their trollish behaviour, later returning to hexbear about their worries so their fellow tankies can feed them a false narrative about gays in gulags.
They are not reasonable, or else they would've already tried engaging here--We have threads dedicated as semi-safespaces for them.
Yes, they are.
If you can find any please point them out
Yes, LGBTQ folks looking for a safe-space while defederating themselves from LGBTQ safe-spaces and at the same time posting images of a dictator who sent queers into gulags--They're tankies, dude.
You can't agree to disagree evidence.
You don't know a lot about tankies if you think they're better than that of Nazis. They still advocate genocide, especially by the Soviet Union and Modern-day China. Throughout this community, there are many examples of such conduct. You should have a look and be mindful of how widespread the hatred is.
Every extremist thinks they're making the world a better place, neo-nazis, jihadists, virulent racists--They all think if everyone thought like them, the world would be a better place. They do not want to make the world a better place for dissidents or activists against authoritarian regimes, in fact, they regularly call for violence against them.
You should have a look at some posts around here, specifically about violence and genocide (using the search function), and tell me if any of that sways your mind. Tankies are violent people who want to kill anyone not like them.
I <3 lgbtq folk but the tankie lie bullshit is crazy. Many of their threads start 'leftists are trying to murder us with their alliance with Ukrainian nazis" and goes down hill from there.
