"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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from 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 permanently banned.
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.

MODERATORS
Hexbear is larger than dbzer0 and lemmy.zip
Hilariouschaos is much smaller than world
1300, 1200, 1100 weekly active users
Monthly, lemmy.zip and hexbear both have 1700 monthly active users , dbzer0 is at 1500
But what does the size of the instance even has to do in this conversation? Maga.place got defederated by LW, SJW, Blahaj, etc and it was a 5 users instance at the time.
You tell me what it has to do with the conversation, you brought up hilariouschaos in response to Hexbear.
Either way, dbzer0 and lemmy.zip should defederate from Hexbear, no?
Are you going to tell every single instance federated with hexbear that they should defederate with hexbear?
You were the first one using the "instances which are federated with hexbear are suspicious" argument in this comment
Yes.
Shouldn't everyone defederate from hilariouschaos? Shouldn't everyone defederate from Hexbear? Shouldn't everyone defederate with lemmygrad? These are all extremist instances that don't care for discussion or the fediverse.
Don't bother. Blaze is an energy vampire who thinks being called names is admin abuse, but admins banning people for disagreeing with tankies is a-okay.
i like blaze because he totally owns that sonic avatar
Show me mod abuse from tankies I've been lenient with
And if you're going to say dbzer0 admins are tankies, here's a 468 comment threads where db0 criticize tankies, which then argue in the comments: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48132283?scrollToComments=true
Oh please, every single time they post disengage and don't actually push back against their views or extremism. They don't actually counter anything the Tankies say.
The only time they actually argue without spamming 'disengage' is when they discuss ableism.
And also, this thread backs up my claim that Hexbear should be defederated entirely
Did we read the same thread ?
Goat didn't read it, so no you're reading a different thread.
I did read it lol
that's why i commented that they just spam disengage instead of tackling tankie viewpoints
you misunderstand. I'm specifically asking for examples of dbzer0 tackling Tankie views and talking points, not whether or not they're trolls
Too bad Goat ignored the link proving them wrong, that was a close one.
I didn't, I directly referenced it
Weird how they can't answer this but Pug called you the time vampire. Despite never answering your questions honestly. Shocked you're not banned yet for asking questions.
I did answer?
Questioning also doesn't get you banned in this community, unlike so many others
When did Blaze ask me any questions in this thread?
Lord.
It's a distraction after you proved Goat wrong, yet again. And then he moves the goal posts, again.
