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.
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.

I'm genuinely gobsmacked at that one, they really think their theory is worth more than the firsthand experience of others?
Like, I sympathize on that point, honestly. Firsthand experience is often dogshit, hence the ridiculousness of 'common sense' solutions. But when the vast majority of people who've experienced it are telling the same tale, you have to step back and ask yourself why.
But, but, but, they've watched TicTok videos and stuff. They probably are experts on infectious diseases, vaccines and Ivermectin too.
It is typical on Reddit to say "I'm at home and it's raining out", only to have multiple people insist that I don't know how to look out the window. It's too bad those assholes are migrating to Lemmy.
They believe their theory is worth more than most people's lives, and apparently more than their own, because they most surely would be liquidated after the revolution.
