"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.
Thou shalt not criticise the Russian invasion of Ukraine on .ml
They're pathetic.
Just look at @[email protected]
Dude has several profiles which all deny Russia having done anything wrong, say Uighur genocide isn't happening and yet pretends they're not pro-Russian, while actively avoiding answering any questions, mainly "are you pro-Russian".
Literally denies that Russia even has propagnda.
It's genuinely ridiculous.
…he’s also an admin of the instance
Hahaha really? Ohmygod that makes it even more ridiculous and obvious.
Hey @[email protected] come on here, comes avoid answering whether you're pro-Russian or not. :D
Well reasoned arguments. Sure would be nice if they’d have enough spine over there to try to rebut your actual points but that would make the acoustics less conductive to echos
The factual support for the ideology that forms their entire identity is thin and fragile as their ego.
Salty mod lol
Funnily enough, the person I was talking to actually was a mod of the community (and also OP of the post), but for all of their directly-from-the-Kremlin lines they weren't the one that deleted all of the dissent in the comments. So, uhh... credit to that mod, I guess?
You got to take the win where you can
How do you see this mod reasoning for banning? An ask lemmy Q came across my feed and someone said basically “thanks to the PRC, in our lifetimes we will see manned missions to mars, fusion energy” yadda yadda yadda china will usher in utopia nonsense. I basically said, “lol WTF are you on about” and got banned. That’s when I noticed it was a .ml community. The mod response (I believe) said “go back to Reddit.”
Some true tankie shit. I wanted to see a record of the interaction and the mod reasoning for deleting the comment and (I believe) banning me.
It's just on the mod log. It may vary by instance. The one showing the reason in this post is lemmy.ml's modlog, the one showing the mod's name is kbin.earth's
