"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. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

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.

For their brand of humor, this one is actually pretty funny (and blatant so it works in text).

But it's very probable that it will draw comments actually advocating for atrocities

I wouldn't disagree normally, except that Hexbear users have a very real chance of believing that 9/11 was in some way deserved. Context quickly sours jokes which are already borderline.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I tried to convey that with the second point

FBI would have so much work documenting them on domestic terrorist watch list

Nah these guys are super passive. They won't ever do anything violent or drastic against the state.

Yes. It's a very dark joke but not off-limits.
