"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.

MODERATORS
The devs are the biggest problem with lemmy. Sure, there's hexbear and whatever else, but the devs need to be better than most. A sane person sees that kind of post, and they leave before they even give it a chance.
Sadly this is very true. And I literally said as much to nutomic directly last week. In the thread on world soliciting donations. Not even a reply. Not serious developers. Just kids with a few coding skills. Who are going to do what they want to do, because they want to. And if you have a problem with that then that's your problem. Not theirs.
As of this writing, I don't think that any of the viable Threadiverse Lemmy alternatives (mbin, piefed) support native mobile clients via the API.

Hmm. Apparently that's not correct. Interstellar can handle both mbin and piefed. It's not in F-Droid, though.
Interstellar shows up in fdroid when I search for it. So I'm not 100% I may have added another repository.
I say fdroid. I was mistaken. I'm currently using droidify with the Izzy on android repository enabled.
Yeah, I needed to do that to get it installed, trying it out right now.
It feels more-responsive then Eternity, and the dev appears to be more active, but I did notice that it doesn't appear to yet support monospaced blockquotes
just colorizes them differently at the moment. Probably some other stuff. Definitely usable, though.
EDIT: Note that I've only used it on a lemmy instance, not mbin or piefed, so I can't speak as to the support there.
Currently I'm using Voyager. No one client has everything I want yet but it's pretty close Interstellar looks wise would be a close second. It works pretty Snappy but it doesn't have user tagging and a few other things that I like.
I'm glad to be finally able to share Interstellar which supports Piefed as well as Lemmy and mbin. still work in progress though.
