"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 as opposed to arguing.
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
@archomrade@midwest.social I don't think your post worked out too well 🐔
also I want to point out the amazing differences between these communities. See, you're very much, unapologetically, a tankie, but you're fully allowed to comment and even engage in this community despite your farming and attempted framing that this community is extremist.
Now, if we were to do the same, we'd be defederated. Which we were!
Perhaps you should use the liberty this community has to actually ask for our opinions as opposed to fishing for responses. You'll find we're a very diverse community with many different opinions, some are even communists.
I wouldn't be fishing here if I wasn't getting bites, and I wouldn't have thought to dip my hook in the water if I hadn't seen abundant signs of good fishing.
You are free to create a Hexbear account and contribute however you like. I promise they will answer any questions you have civilly, so long as you don't provoke them. But they've not committed to civility like you've done here, so be careful not to let you mask slip.
I have, and I was, and no, I got perma'd. Four different users also attempted to dox me. I know since I was in their private chatrooms during the time. Seeing them get frustrated when they couldn't do it was very entertaining. They even tried image meta-data, the poor things
And my mask? I don't have a mask. I'm very honest with my views and am willing to share them with anyone who wishes to know.
Can people with views that differ my own have come to those views in an honest and reasoned fashion, even if I think they’re flawed?
Nah, they’re definitely just bad faith fascists hiding their “power level”.
Scary easy to see how easy you end up with thought police when people that think like this hold power.
Extremists tend to think everyone else is as extreme as they are. It's quite sad
Welp, i guess there we have it. I've so far managed to avoid provoking them myself, cross my fingers I don't get on their bad side.
why would you? you agree with them lol. try to say that stalin was a disaster for communism and his dictatorship killed it, then you'll be in trouble
i do like how you ignored mentioning the dox attempts
I have no way of knowing if that's accurate, nor to i have any way of knowing what it was that got you perma'd.
I probably wouldn't say that, because the US defeated communism (according to their own accounting). I would tread lightly around anything I may not agree with them on, but I do happen to agree with them on a lot. At least most of them. Half of them. Maybe slightly less than a majority of them.
What can I say, they aren't a monolith.
You can say that Stalin was bad, right?
But their hatred towards diversity and dissent is
damn that didn't take long at all, what is it with you guys and your inability to disavow stalin's atrocities? poor, poor Stalin's USSR was forced to do genocide, they had to kill all those people :(
Lenin is screaming at you
Since you've been banned for this very topic before, this one will last 48 hours. You may request to be unbanned and your comments restored at any time. Something that Hexbear will not give you
You're way too lenient with someone who self admitted to be here to troll.
I am very lenient with them, yeah. It's good to have people with dissenting opinions, even though they're acting in bad faith and have admitted to just fishing for replies. Diversity is key, afterall. Of course, it'll be different if they were insulting every user here and generally being a bad sport.
However, the line is drawn at apologia.
Did you inherit a thousand years of piss-poor takes or are you just great at making shitty opinions?
You actually believe this?
Maybe? ~~You should go and try provoking them, see if they still treat you with civility.~~
edit: goat is right, I was using sarcasm and did not indicate that clearly. I do not support going there to cause trouble, but you are absolutely allowed to go there and behave.
No brigading. Brigading is a headache for both admins
this community is an exception, although a rickety one
I've seen how they behave on other instances, no way will they be polite and courteous when someone disagrees with them on home turf.
You just gotta know which things you disagree on, and why they might strongly disagree with you, and not just say "fuck it, imma blast off".
If you go in wanting to make a point then yea. They will not be courteous.
Ah, love this.
'They're fine if you supply evidence to back up your claims'
'Actually if you try to do that then you'll be booted'
Poor thing's got no idea how stupid they sound.
