"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 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
Is there no screenshot of the actual exchange? From what I see, the story is from Diva, who is a moderator of Hexbear's Slop, thus not a reliable narrator.

That's from the thread I linked, though sharing Permalinks always seems wonky. That's the exchange from the Matrix
Thanks. Looks pretty different from how it's presented. It feels like there is context missing, because the transphobe part doesn't make sense and appears to have no relevance to the suggestion, which Rimu acts on. The pronouns question from Rimu seems to be in reference to the She/Her part of the name? I can't tell for sure without access to the history before then.
Edit: Also, there are good reasons to think rimu kicked Mia not right after what is shown, but later. You can see there's at least one cut off paragraph between the last shown message and the "kicked" notification, as also evidenced by the arrow down button.
Also worth considering that she brought up function name "reply_is_stupid" being ableist on matrix during the time there were constant anti-Rimu threads popping up on db0. It smells of her trying to bait any kind of response that can be framed negatively.
You’re right she should have said nothing ever, how dare someone make a simple request. She should have made a big post about which Fediverse software was the most ableist happy? That’s how our lord and savior Rimu operates.
We just need more Rimu lies about how no one ever tried to contact him despite her trying. Maybe he can steal more of her code and not attribute her again. Poor innocent Rimu.
