"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?
(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.

I am surprised I haven't been banned yet (thread was deleted). Or does Voyager not show notifications for bans?
Looks like davel removed it, but no bans yet, but they do this thing a lot where davel removes content and dessalines comes hours later and bans the actual user. So it'll probably still come LMAO
Why .. why are y'all on that instance?
Seems like it would affect me, at least, a lot less if people stopped sharing their constant bullshit here.
And before you tell me to block y'all, don't worry, I will if this keeps showing up in /all for me. I am just giving you a heads up that whatever you are trying to accomplish, this is where you're at.
This comm really exists for more documentation purposes, though the occasional meme and justifiable "poke the bear" post comes along from time to time
These kinds of posts would probably be better suited for the designated Tankie dunking comm !tankiejerk@lemmy.world id say
If the community for making fun of tankies bothers you, then maybe get the fuck out of the community for making fun of tankies. What an absolute buffoon.
Read my comment again slowly and maybe you will get that reading comprehension score back up.
You realize the purpose of the community you're in right? If it's that distressing then remove it from your feed by blocking the community.
What do you mean?
Wasn't it clear from my text that I meant what I said? There is no 4D chess here.
Nice!
