"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.

The devs should be invisible if they want their project to succeed like a California wildfire. This hurts Lemmy's donations.
Not necessarily a bad thing. There are multiple interoperable “threadiverse” platforms already. I like Lemmy currently but I’d happily switch to an alternative, and financially support them, if like the UX and the devs are less toxic.
i'm really eying piefed as the future of this communication strategy
The current Piefed instances unfortunately don't seem to show what they federate with. I personally would not join an instance which federates with lemmy .ml anymore, for example. But yeah there sure are a lot of options popping up which is great.
I've been looking at Piefed and Mbin long-term. Don't think I'm ready to make the change yet, but when Federation is more reliable, I'll probably make the move to one of them.
I'm a huge fan of piefed.
once it has app support and an instance as clearly aligned with my politics as slrpnk.net i'll probably move over
Interstellar is almost there but it still doesn't have notifications unfortunately. It's also limited to I'm pretty sure only one instance at the moment.
It looks to me like it supports multiple. In fact, it has a default to anonymous kbin.earth setting that I don't think that you can remove even if you add accounts on other instances.
You actually can remove the guest kbin.earth account, you just have to add a different account and switch to it first.
Ahh, you're right, thanks. I'd tried creating another account, and just assumed that deleting the active one would work and then switch me to another extant account. Doesn't display a message or anything, just doesn't let you do the deletion.
But if you switch first, it does work.
