"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.

Congratulations @PugJesus@lemmy.world @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone and all the other regular contributors!

Disclaimer: While subscriber count is a poor metric on Lemmy because it's often inflated with dead accounts, with Monthly Active Users being far superior (in which case most .ml comms have been defeated with the biggest exception being Linux and Privacy (be sure to promote !linux@programming.dev and !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as the closest contenders!)) it's an accomplishment when a relatively young comm can still overtake a years-long established comm!

In the long term, I would like to move to Mbin or Piefed. At the moment, the collapse of Lemm.ee has me spooked about admins not having the structural systems in place to sustain an instance long-term, so I've put those plans on hold. Whatever .world's other faults (and while the admin team is amateurish, it's also responsive to public outcry), it has a robust structure that's integrated with an even larger ecosystem (FediHost Foundation) for sustaining the instance.
