Admin/moderator do what admin/moderator do -- remove opinions he dislike and ban those who have them.

Why can't we just have moderators who clean out spam, flood and, optionally, personal insults?

Noooo, everybody wants to be a great censor.

Pfffft.

If they didn't ban all dissenting opinion, some of .ml's users might be exposed to other ideas and ideologies and possibly even realize that Dessalines is full of shit and jump ship to a better instance where they have no influence.

Most instances have their own Dessalines. Some are pro-Trump, other pro-Russia, but there are also vegan Dessalines, JRPG Dessalines, LGBT Dessalines, libero-fascist(don't ask) Dessalines. They all are crazy and ban whatever they don't like.

I don't disagree with you. But I don't think borrowing terminology from the likes of Jonah Goldberg is a good idea. Not that including those types in the list is wrong or anything. There absolutely are those that over react over misunderstandings, or outsiders unaware and failing to use particular terminology. That said, I'm not sure if a truly good term for them that doesn't unduly smear the term. The way fascists have turned SJW into an epithet in reference to those types.

"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.
