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.
Hmm. I mean...what's there to discuss? I'd think that you just make an account somewhere else, and that's kinda all there is to it.
Maybe you can set something in your profile on the first lemmy instance to indicate where you went, if you want to have a way to let people know reliably that Account 2 really is Account 1.
There isn't really any mechanism to link accounts natively in lemmy, so not a lot to do in that sense.
I figured people could announce and discuss alternative communities to lemmyml ones. The problem with the smaller communities is momentum
I suppose that's fair.
Most of the time, one can find an alternative via lemmyverse.net, which runs a spider and builds a searchable list of all communities on all instances.
https://lemmyverse.net/communities
A Threadiverse-wide community search isn't not something that lemmy makes available, and it's not immediately obvious to new users.
Sometimes, the community name is different -- I was in a discussion the other day where two people were talking about an alternative for "crows", and I pointed out that there's [email protected]. And I mentioned that there's no direct "mechanicalkeyboards" equivalent, but that [email protected] does have some overlap. A lot of times, though, there are communities with the same name on different instances, like [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected], and so a search on lemmyverse.net will turn them up.
