"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.

i'm really eying piefed as the future of this communication strategy
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.
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'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.
