"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?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (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 โ 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 โ 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
Because they breaching the common rule? Or being a spam account? Being reactionary is usually not a ban-able offence, and we admin isn't here to control and fine tune how everyone act to a specific way.
I mean, if you or any other admin want to do that, feel free, but i ain't got time for that, and i trust you adult for solving common conflict yourself.
They called to violence and insulted our members several times in the first thread linked in the OP https://jlai.lu/post/11504685
If Jlailu members had done the same on another instance's meta community we would have acted on it.
I see where you come from, we don't monitor everything that our members do, but this was a large scale event with dozens of people taking part and 248 comments.
Then yes, it fall under the rule as brigading. I definitely would ban anyone calling for it.
Glad to see we agree
Altought it is due to a lack of people, i think it also point out the lack of a moderation board with various role to fill.
Several role are missing so our job tend to overlap.
We could do something like this :
In our case, our (modo)admins would delete these as they oversee the whole server.
