"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.
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.
