"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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
What truly matters is that major instances have this fear to begin with, not whether or not it will happen.
Then why don't those admins switch to Piefed if that's a fear? It's been around for a while now, and it works as well as Lemmy.
While we are talking, why haven't you switched to a Piefed account yourself?
Probably because it's not easy to transfer entire instances? I don't know dude.
I don't care to switch. Lemmy is dead
I've moved plenty of communities to PieFed instances. It gives Piefed more visibility, and can help people know about it. Same reason I use Piefed for my main account.
You do you, but criticizing the Lemmy devs while keeping your Lemmy account and your communities on Lemmy seems contradictory
Why have moral consistency when you can insult users who prove you wrong? Correcting the mod here is Tankie.
you're kinda weird dude, why do you post so much about me but don't actually talk to me directly?
and also why are you whining about downvotes in another comment yet that's all you do in this comm?
You can't even identify when a post is fake or satire, sonic chu, what you deem contradictory is meaningless to me
He wants use their products while saying they evil. He's too lazy to move, just only enough time to use old out of context screenshots to laugh at lonely people.
