"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


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are natural. Do not call them shills or fake users.

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.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

musn't be much pushback if Hexbear hasn't blocked lemm.ee

Hadn't even considered the reverse. The "no bigotry" rule gets enforced for lemm.ee users, also when posting on other instances, which is what everyone on hexbear would agree with would be a defederation-worthy offence. As far as politics are concerned hexbear is quite diverse, from tankies to anarchists, disagreeing about a great many of things. Personally I don't get how the anarchists there can mentally endure sharing an instance with a counter-revolutionary cesspit like !sino@hexbear.net but then, hey, it's not like I'm about to tell them what to do.

I can only hope.
