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.

I referred to evil as a question about what OP thought of the developer they seemed to have an issue with. I try myself to not see people as such, since I think most people are inherently good and those that are not to be in some way mentally ill, read psycopaths. You bring up a series of events and justifications for why they happened, though that is not something that is easy to say for sure. That does not mean anyone gets a free pass, that means we need to be vigilant when researching the past, when monitoring the present and planning for the future. In particular I would advocate strongly for the need for democratic control and transparancy through all parts of society: politics, business, law enforcement and etc..
