"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. — 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.

Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
This is completely unacceptable for the devs of software designed to bring people together.
There's geostrategic goals at state
Literally referencing the Putin propaganda mastermind Alexander Dugin in their reason for removal is pretty ironic.
They're really holding back the threadverse from the mainstream.
defederate now!
Yea, I truly believe that's one of the biggest blockers.
We can fix a lot of things ourselves or just with time like, lack of content, engagement etc. but without a hard-line against the tankies like wide defederation of .ml (or at least just the big ones like .world) fixing the outside reputation is going to be a tall order. Even with PieFed
out of you of all people...
Hey that's me that they censored!
I didn't mind the back and forth. They seem sensitive to dissent over there.
Dessalines can't disagree with Putin or he'll be dropped from payroll 😉
Dessalines seems big mad at me.
Apparently I've been suspended from the Grad for my insolence.
It's a dubious badge of honor, akin to not being well liked by hexbear back in the day.
Lemmy would be in a better place if they start replacing their problematic devs, admin and mods.
That's honestly embarrassing. How do you even come to this ?
Does anyone have a good alternative to this dogshit lemmy site? Something that doesn't run this shit in the background and is still a good federated content aggregate?
The lemmy.ca admins run a piefed instance that I'm migrating to. Any piefed instance will be the same content as any lemmy server because it's all activitypub but you get to use software that isn't made by people with questionable politics.
Great recs. I should consider moving off too.
I just realized I have been reading Piefed as Pixelfed - for many weeks now and I always was like nah, it may be ActivityPub but I don't want an Instragram-like app. But it is not Pixelfed? What is it? The UI looks pretty similar to LemmyUI. Could you point out the core differences pretty quick?
What is it?
Software package whose instances can federate with Lemmy instances.
More limited native client support is probably the most prominent downside to PieFed that I'm aware of. Use Interstellar for PieFed; it can also do Lemmy and Mbin. Usable, but not as mature as Eternity on Android. Getting more development than Eternity, though.
Biggest PieFed feature that I'm aware of that Lemmy doesn't have is migration of communities. Was really useful for lemm.ee communities, as that instance was going down, and PieFed instances could import their history if a mod wanted to do a migration. I haven't really gone looking for features, though.
From a developer standpoint, Lemmy is written in Rust, PieFed in Python, and Mbin in PHP.
Just another reddit clone powered by activityfed. No different than mbin in terms of content and usecase.
Stop trying to make everything about you, shinigami (or should I say, Leni). It's pretty obvious this is another one of your alt accounts you use to talk to yourself.
You say that like I ever said I wasn't Leni (or that OP is me). The original community that had me (in which I am not banned) had shut down and I alternated. Here I am simply mentioning something I can verify happens. I know it's a habit of reactionaries, but I see no need to get hostile towards me simply for existing. Is it not possible to get along?
