"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 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 — 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 banned.
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
It is not okay to use your alts to downvote posts twice, it's actually pretty sleazy and unaccepted across many fediverse instances. If you did it by mistake that's different, but if you did it intentionally that's pretty shameful.

I took it out. I am slowly switching over to piefed and accidently voted a second time with an alt.
It's alright, mistakes happen sometimes.
Are these not yours? They are brand new accounts that upvote you everywhere in this thread and downvote me, pugjesus and goat.
that's probably antiyanks
he goes through episodes like this every now and then, just ignore him
I don't know who those people are and I don't care. Either way those do seem like Vote manipulation accounts and should be reported if they are not banned already. I maintain that I do not commit vote manipulation. Whether you believe me or not is up to you.
If it isn't you, I suspect antiyanks or .ml users
No comments
I looked through them. A lot of them are imposter accounts, possibly antiyanks or someone with a similar mindset. It seems that someone has been harassing Draconic NEO for at least half a year now.
Oh, maybe not antiyanks then.
Either way, Dranonic NEO is safe in this community, we have a bot that doesn't allow new users or fresh accounts to post here.
I don't use my accounts to boost or suppress content and admins on the fediverse can attest to that. People having accounts does not mean voting with these accounts, consider that before making bad faith accusations.
In germany we say 'heul leise' and i think this is beautiful.
