"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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

If you really are concerned perhaps fork it then ? If the purity tests are not good enough for you to use a service, what do you use , I would love to get a list. Or is it just for Foss projects that's provided for free you have the purity tests for?
I use GOS , and did so when it was a really toxic community a few years back.
linux is also problematic here and there. Wikipedia I just donated to also. Hell I don't think there's a single project other than my own small scripts I use that would pass my own purity tests.
Feels like a good psyop from anyone if you want to damage Lemmy and Foss competition in my meaning.
have "purity tests" of:
No you don't. Or at least your fine with the fails. otherwise you wouldn't be able to comment here. Or do you believe there are no really shitty person's in tech?
What has Linux had issues with, along with Wikipedia? I can't think of anything where major Linux devs have advocated for harming groups. If anything, torvalds hates those kinds of people
Lol if you haven't seen the issues with toxic tech communities online you must have kept your eyes closed very hard.
By your own standards not "harming people" is quite far from the I want shit for free but won't pay because o don't like a dude developing the free stuff I use.
The psyop of "I don't wanna give money to people who harm my friends"? Sure dude.
Well you do. Or are you living in a hut in the forest sending smoke signals to get your comment here?
Maybe don't let perfect get in the way of good?
Not being transphobic isn't a purity test
So you wrote this comment on a device completely void of any involvement of any transphobes? How do you check that? Or is it just though scrutiny for services you get free?
Can you explain what you mean?
Even if criticism can be made, I mean it's kinda sus to attack the development of Lemmy. I can find a bunch of really bad people you have paid money to. Maybe stop giving them money instead? but here we are getting nothing done. To quote:
So you want people to suck it up and donate?
I would like people to pay for the labour they enjoy the fruits of yes. Or contribute some other way.
For me it is obvious that Lemmy is on the top of my list of project to donate to.
