"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?
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.

MODERATORS
Okay, but do you expect them not to know who you are when you're doing this?
If pointing at the name Diva is self explanatory enough, so is pointing to the name goat. It's just known users beefing with known users, regardless of content.
Like, he surely knows he is talking to you on an account you made to evade your ban off his instance?
Someone else posted this yesterday elsewhere. G is only reposting it.
And who am I to you? Since most of the shit said about me is blatantly false.
The person that runs this community. Both have a reputation, and from what I recall you were banned from db0 a while back. That was somewhere around the time you made the totalanarchy community just to place it in time. So db0 giving a tired response to you about tankies just isn't wild to me.
I was banned from dbzer0 after I challenged cowbee posting tankie copypasta. I called dbzer0 out for being a tankie bar.
Right, so this very much isn't a new thing with you, db0, or tankies. That's the gist of what I mean.
No, it's not, dbzer0 has been a tankie bar for quite a while.
Figured that perhaps some evidence of the takeover would sway db0 that tankies aren't friends with anarchists, but tankie bar will tankie bar.
