"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.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, same as the IDF, both of their beleifs depend on the extermination of the other.

I hope the peoples oppressed by these regimes can liberate themselves.

I think the biggest danger is the single sidedness of it all. You have to pick a side and then hate the other. Same thing is happening with India and Pakistan.

I think the biggest danger is all the people that are dead...

I almost forgot about Vegantheoryclub.org I remember controversy about them with !vegan@lemmy.world where one of the mods of that community was also an admin on there or had ties to the admin there and was using it to ban anyone who criticized her or downvoted her. She was posting a ton of reactionary content (some of which was misinformation) and even tried to ban LW admins from the community. They eventually booted her and she tried to use alts to add herself back but ended up getting all of them booted and then used an alt to try and create more drama.

Yeah I strongly recommend people stay away from vegantheoryclub, they're not a good instance. Their admin clearly has problems.

I think you're mixing things up. Beaver was not among the [!vegan@lemmy.world](/c/vegan@lemmy.world) mods who fought against the .world admin Rooki's interference in the community based on his personal beliefs and made-up rules. Beaver just briefly participated in some of the related discussions. Then long after the incident, she posted memes (which I don't believe were reactionary if you mean right-wing), including some that mocked it. A new mod of the .world vegan community called her out for that and for allegedly banning people too eagerly and removed her as a mod. None of it involved the VTC instance. Slrpnk has a decent summary of the events. There are reasons to believe that Beaver is an old account of the OP (Sunshine).

I feel like there was involvement with VTC's admin since that was before Lemmy had a Vote-view API for mods and they were helping get vote counts to ban people for downvoting but maybe that wasn't happening and they weren't involved. It's not really valid these days anymore since every instance now has Vote-View enabled for moderators and Lemvotes allows anyone to see votes on any post or comment in Lemmy if they so choose.

[–] Rose@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

The votes were available to anyone via certain mbin instances for example, without even needing to be signed up. Multiple mods of the vegan .world community were also mods of the vegan community of VTC, but I don't see how that works against Hamid in particular, since I have no knowledge of his involvement. Beaver is likely still a .world mod via her suspected alt, but she was banned from VTC after her public spat with Hamid involving posts like the OP.

Of course he engages in name calling. He thinks I care much more about his community than I really do. I haven’t checked on VTC for weeks.

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

lmao I wonder who this one single downvote may be

what a pathetic islamist 🤣

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

In his words, a single downvote would be declared “vote manipulation”.

Aren’t you the person who freaked out a couple months ago over a picture of a horse?

Man I don't care what anyone says nothing's going to redeem that fascist loving instance.

[–] licheas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I dunno... maybe a few server fires?

how many servers do they have?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah don't joke about this stuff. No violence, please.
